Little did Onodjae know that his act of kindness would swiftly devolve into a nightmare. Upon the woman’s entry into his vehicle, he found himself ambushed by accomplices who swiftly incapacitated him, leaving him unconscious on the roadside.

In the wake of the assault, Onodjae found himself robbed of his belongings, including his car, phone, voter’s card, and wallet, leaving him stranded and vulnerable.
