Adebayo recounted how he had started his car when he noticed two armed men approaching him, one on either side.

Despite being outnumbered, he stood his ground and managed to disarm one of the robbers, taking possession of their gun.

He then shot at the driver of the getaway car, causing it to malfunction and stranding the robbers.

The robbers were forced to abandon their own car and flee with Adebayo's vehicle. However shortly afterwards, Adebayo found his car in a nearby bush, although they had taken his money.

He attributed his bravery to his faith, saying that God had given him the wisdom and strength to overcome the ordeal.

In his words:

"I went to the bank in Minna to make a withdrawal. So immediately I left the bank, not more than ten minutes, armed robbers came to attack me, well armed. So immediately I was about to, I had already started my car, I just saw two armed men, one for my left, one for my right. They came to attack me, so they went away with my money. So as they, as they went with my money, I was praying in tongues because that day I was fasting, so I now went directly to meet one of them. God gave me the grace, I collected the ammunition they were firing at me.

"So God gave me the wisdom, I collected the gun from the armed robber, and I have never shot before. I don't have any training. I was speaking in tongues. I went to the front of their car, I shot at the driver. I said this car will not move unless I am not serving the God of my father. I said this car will not move, and unfortunately, they started the car, their car refused to move. They started it, so they had no other choice but to go with my car, but I told my people before I left home, I said I am going to see my car because the picture of my father is inside, that car will not be missing. So, recently, I reached Lokoja, my wife called me that they have seen my car in the nearby bush, that they parked my car. Unfortunately, they have taken away my money, but I thank God. As they were shooting, the bullet just scratched my body and my cloth. God preserve me. I thank God for everything He has done in my life. I thank."
