After nearly being hacked by a cutlass-wielding robber, a man is grateful for his life and well-being.
The incident occurred on the morning of April 20th, just before Otedola bridge in Lagos, according to a man identified on Twitter as Dada Temitope.
The glass in the driver’s side of the car was shattered, according to a video he attached to his report.
The robber had apparently slashed at it, leaving a massive gash on the glass.
Dada thanked God for both his grace and his street smarts.
He also stated that a police checkpoint was only a few minutes away from the scene where he was almost robbed, and that when he told the officers what had almost happened to him, they only expressed sympathy.
“Almost got robbed this morning just before Otedola bridge.
Thank God for Grace, street OT and my tinted nylon.
