Pregnant woman arrests tricycle driver, blames him for robbery

A heavily pregnant woman have recently arrested a Tricycle (popularly called keke) Operator in connection with a robbery incident at Abattoir, along the Osubi road, Delta State.

A Source close to the victim told Our Reporter that the pregnant woman whose husband had abandoned her and the children, was robbed of all her belonging including a N7, 000 which is the only money she had left in the world to cater for her children and for the ante-natal of her unborn child.

The Source said a few days ago, the pregnant woman and other passengers boarded a Keke heading to Osubi. They were moving without any difficulty when the Keke suddenly developed a fault and stopped at the Abbatoir along Osubi Road.

The Keke driver begged his passengers, including the pregnant woman to be patient with him while tries to fix the Keke. When the rest passengers became impatient, they left, but due to her pregnancy, she could not leave.

When the pregnant woman decided to leave, she came out of the Keke in search of another, only for a man to jump out of the bush near the Abattoir. He forced her to hand over all her belongings to him and ran away. She raised an alarm which attracted Policemen who came and arrested the Keke driver.

She told the Policemen that she was robed of all her possessions including seven thousand naira which she claimed was the only money she owned now after her husband left her and her children in her condition.  

Meanwhile a female National Diploma, ND 2 student of Lagos State Polytechnic, Laspotech, Lagos State has jumped out a moving vehicle, in Warri when she was about being robbed in a taxi.

Narrating the incident to Fresh Angle International, the ND2 Student who identified herself as Joy James, told Our Reporter that on that day, she had left Delta Shopping Mall, Shoprite at about 7:30PM, she went across to Effurun Roundabout to board a taxi going to Ekpan Junction.

When she found a taxi, she was the only one in the taxi. The driver didn’t find any other passengers but zoomed off a few seconds later and after a few minutes of driving on the Express, he stopped to carry a toughs-looking boy carrying bag.

Joy James said she suspected something fishy and asked the driver to stop the taxi but he ignored her. The boy at the back seat immediately removed a dagger from his bag and asked her to stop talking, with that fear she opened the door and jumped out of the moving vehicle.

She ran back to the Junction and called the attention of people who later alerted her hand was bleeding. A sympathizer took her to the nearest pharmacy for treatment. The next morning she went to report the case at Ekpan Police Station, she was told investigation will be difficult since she could not remember face of the culprits but they will try their best to apprehend the suspects.
