A Nigerian woman, Peace Oblama, has shared a chilling account of how she was brutally attacked during a bus ride in Lagos — an experience that left many Nigerians stunned and worried about safety on public transport.
It started like a normal day...
Peace boarded a commercial bus in Lagos, expecting nothing more than a regular journey. But things took a terrifying turn when the bus neared a quiet area. As she prepared to get off, she noticed something strange — she wasn’t allowed to leave.
“Just as I was about to get down, they slapped me hard,” Peace recalled. “Before I could even react, they brought out a hammer and hit my legs.”
Trapped and helpless
She revealed that the attackers — believed to be part of a criminal syndicate disguised as passengers — prevented her from screaming for help.
“They covered my mouth and warned me not to make a sound. I thought I was going to die right there,” she said, her voice shaking with emotion.
A nightmare in broad daylight
Peace’s story adds to the growing list of incidents involving what Nigerians often call “one chance” buses — commercial vehicles operated by criminals who rob or harm unsuspecting passengers.
“I didn’t expect anything like this. It all happened so fast. I couldn’t defend myself,” she said, urging authorities to take urgent action.
Nigerians react with anger and fear
Her heartbreaking experience has triggered outrage online, with many calling for tighter security in public transport systems, especially in densely populated cities like Lagos.
Some Nigerians shared similar experiences in the comment section, warning others to be extra careful when boarding unknown buses, especially late in the day or in areas with low activity.
