A woman, Modupeola Durojaye, has cried out after her car was hijacked by armed robbers on Monday night along the Benin-Sagamu Expressway, Ogun State.
It was learnt that the Black 2018 Toyota Sienna with registration number, AA447GS, was stolen by armed men, who disguised as men of the Nigeria Police Force on the highway.
Durojaye said her car was hijacked by armed robbers from her husband on the Benin-Sagamu Expressway at night after he was tricked to park.
She said,” My husband took the car to work that day, then when he was on his way home, around that 8:30pm, he was stopped by some men, who were assumed to be men of the police force with their flashlights.
“When he parked, they rushed to attack him, and they fled with the car. My husband is still trying to recover from the shock because the incident was traumatising.”
Durojaiye, said her husband got injured while he was struggling to defend himself from the robbers’ attack. She said, “They were masked, the incident happened in a jiffy, and it was a struggle between my husband and the criminals. He sustained serious injury because they hit him with a machete and other harmful weapons.
“It was not only the car they snatched, they also carted away his gold wristwatch and ring. He has gone to the court for an affidavit because they went with his purse too, which contains his bank ATM card and driving licence”, she said.
When contacted, the spokesperson for the Ogun Police Command, Omolola Odutola, texted our correspondent via an SMS that she was driving.
Meanwhile, the message sent to her line to get her reaction was yet to be responded to as of time of filing this story.
