Like the saying, ‘everyday for the thief, one day for the owner’, a Danfo driver and his conductor has been arrested for allegedly robbing and gang-raping a job seeker in Lagos.
A 22-year-old job seeker identified ad Mercy, has more pains to contend with after a ‘Danfo’ (Commercial bus driver), identified as Akeem and his conductor, Sodiq, abducted her before robbing and gang-raping her in the Costain, Iponri area of Lagos State.
According to report, Akeem and Sodiq, along with two others still at large, had picked the victim from the Obalende area and were supposed to head for the Victoria Island where she reportedly had a job interview.
The Otukpo, Benue State born Mercy, who holds a Nigerian Certificate in Education (NCE), narrated that on March 10, she was called by a friend to attend the job interview, and had joined the vehicle early in the morning.
But on getting to the Costain area, the suspects diverted the vehicle, assuring her that they were only taking a different route to the island to avoid traffic.
But when the bus got to under bridge at Costain, a notoriously dangerous spot, they stopped the vehicle while the four of them robbed the lady of her Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card, her purse and other documents, then gang-raped her before driving off.
