It was a beautiful Tuesday evening a fortnight ago. Someone booked our ride, pick up point was market square on Peter Odili road & destination was YKC in woji. On the ride, the following conversation took place.

Rider: & #39;How do you cope with these SARS issues?& #39;
Driver: & #39;Well, we are trying to cope just fine.& #39;
Rider: & #39;Have you been harrased before?& #39;
Driver: & #39;No I haven& #39;t& #39;
Rider: & #39;Aren& #39;t you scared of being harassed?& #39;
Driver: & #39;I have nothing to be scared of, I& #39;m just a cab driver& #39;

Rider:& #39;So you mean they haven& #39;t eaten your money before& #39;
Driver: & #39;Fortunately, they haven& #39;t& #39;

At that point, the rider had a call where he was shouting at the person on the other end and insisting he parked his car somewhere.

Fast forward to the said destination...

At YKC junction, the rider asked the driver to head towards the Zenith bank branch, getting there, there was an unmarked black Hilux parked.
& #39;Pull up in front of that Hilux& #39;, the rider said.
Driver pulled up. Ended the trip, rider made a transfer & driver confirmed.

Immediately rider alighted, 6 dare devil looking men, with assault rifles, dressed in jeans and black tops surrounded the cab. In split seconds all four doors were opened & they were screaming "is he the one? Is he the one?"
The rider said casually...

"Leave that one, he& #39;s a mommy& #39;s boy, na jew boy", "Are you sure?" One of them asked. The rider repeated same. They all banged the doors and walked away.
For minutes, the fear and trauma, hands shivering, the driver couldn& #39;t even start the cab to leave.

The trauma and fear is better talked about that experienced! And it& #39;s time we end this now!

Imagine if the driver had poured out his mind about the harassments of these men...what would have been his date?https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht"> Think about it.
