Four armed robbers have snatched a Toyota Corolla car belonging to an
Information Technology worker, Adetoun Fashanu, along Dutse bus-stop,
Kubwa-Zuba
Expressway, Abuja.
The robbers who disguised as policemen hijacked the car from Fashanu who
was on his way back from his office around 2am on Saturday.
Sadly,.the blue Toyota Corolla car was stolen barely 48 hours after he
bought it.
Fashanu explained that he had just dropped off his colleague at Dutse and
connected to the service lane when he saw four men at a roadblock.
He said, “When they stopped me, I thought they were SARS officers because
they were armed with AK-47 rifles. They asked for my documents and one asked me
to come down from the car.
“One of them entered the car and pretended to be searching it, while
another one asked me to open the boot which I did. It was when he asked me to
cooperate with them that it dawned on me that they were robbers. They entered
the car and drove away.”
The IT worker said he lost consciousness after the car was driven away,
adding that he woke in the morning to find himself lying along the road.
“I can’t say whether I was injected by the robbers or not; I just found
myself there on the ground in the morning and I later felt pains around my
neck,” he stated.
Fashanu said he had reported the theft at Kubwa police station and
appealed to anyone with useful information that could lead to the recovery of
the car to report to the nearest police station.
