A suspected female robber who posed as a nurse, has
reportedly snatched an 18-seater Hiace bus belonging to a
Benin-based private commercial transport company, Agbonifo
Line.

The female robber who reportedly dressed in nurse uniform,
was said to have led other members of her gang in the robbery
operation to snatch the vehicle marked DGE 317XB and
chassis No: JTFRX12PV08042624, at gunpoint along the
Ekpoma-Agbor road in the state.

The driver of the bus, Tony Nwaosa, who narrated his ordeal
on his hospital bed where he is receiving treatment for injuries
he sustained from the gang of armed robbers who were said to
have brutalised him, said the suspect chartered the bus from
the company’s park at Ekpoma, Esan West local government
area of Edo state and informed the driver that she wanted to go
and convey computers her husband imported from abroad.

“I was in Ekpoma at our park between the hours of 10 to 11am
last week Thursday when a lady approached me that she
wants to charter my bus to a village near Agbor. We agreed for
a fee of N40, 000. I met my manager at Ekpoma to confirmed
from my MD if I should embark on the trip or not and he
agreed.

“So, the following morning (Friday) a bus was sent from Auchi
which we used. Shortly after we departed from the park, it
occurred to me that I didn’t carry the vehicle’s manifest papers
so I asked her to permit me to return to the part to pick it which
she obliged.


“During the course of the journey the girl was receiving several
phone calls and I specifically asked her what exactly are we
going to carry and she said computers which her husband that
lives abroad imported. I became suspicious of her because of
her conversation on phone as if
the person was nearby.

“She later asked me to stop to pick somebody along the road
and immediately the caller called her again that we have
passed him. She then asked me to park. Only for me to sight
about seven armed men from a nearby bush and they
demanded the key of the bus.

“They started beating me with the butt of their guns and blocks
from an uncompleted building while the girl watched until I
couldn’t remember anything that happened again. I only woke
up at the hospital here. That is all I can remember,” Nwaosa
said .


Also commenting on the incident, the managing director of the
transport company, Festus Okhuomose Agbonifo, who
corroborated the driver’s account, however said he suspected
foul play between his manager at Ekpoma and the female
robber, because, according to him, no receipts indicating the
identity of the girl was issued by his manager before allowing
the chartered bus to embark on such journey.
Agbonifo who said the matter had been reported at Igbanke
and Abudu Divisional Police Station, called on security
agencies to apprehend the robbers.

Evil perpetrators are good at disguising.

They can pretend to be a clergy for hours just to achieve their evil plan. Let alone, a nurse.

May GOD continue to protect and guide us all.

I wish the driver a quick recovery.

The condition in which naija is at the moment, any silly thing can take place.

I pray they get caught soon.
