A Nigerian lady has shared a chilling experience of narrowly escaping death after entering a “one chance“ cab in Lagos.

The shocking incident, which she narrated in a video posted on TikTok, has sparked concern among social media users.

According to her, the ordeal occurred recently while she was returning home. She had boarded a cab at Iyana Oworo, unaware that the driver had sinister intentions.

“On Saturday, I got to the bus stop at Iyana Oworo. A cab stopped—it was driven by a middle-aged man. I was going home to Badagry with some bags. I had been helping my mum carry goods she bought,” she recounted.

Shortly after the ride began, the driver picked up another male passenger between Iyana Oworo and Gbagada. Not long after, the situation turned violent.

“On our way, he stopped between Gbagada and Charlie Boy. He asked the other man why he picked me up, and the man replied that they picked me because they wanted to kill me,” she said.

She described how the driver suddenly switched lanes, driving with one hand while using the other to punch her repeatedly and drag her by her clothes. The other man reportedly held her hands to prevent her from defending herself.

The lady further explained that the men tried to cover her nose with a cloth, and one of them attempted to use a knife on her. They picked up a third accomplice and forced her to sit between them.

“I was taken to a house where I was beaten. They seized my phone, withdrew money from my account, and ordered me to call people to send more money,” she said, adding that at one point, the men even contemplated sexually assaulting her.

Eventually, the men forced her back into the vehicle and drove to Oshodi, where they dragged her out of the car and fled.

The disturbing video has since circulated online, drawing sympathy and outrage from viewers who flooded the comment section with messages of support and calls for greater security in Lagos.
