Lady in Lagos reportedly robbed by passenger
Identified on X as @sheisanjola, the lady narrated how she boarded a danfo bus without any sign that something bad would happen.
During the ride, a man who sat next to her behaved in a calm and gentlemanly manner, giving her no reason to feel scared.
As the journey progressed, nothing about his conduct signalled any form of wrongdoing.
Before getting off the bus, the man unexpectedly paid the transport fare for both himself and the lady.
His action came as a surprise to her, as such gestures are not commonly experienced in everyday public transport trips.
At the time, she seemed to have seen it as a kind and generous act from a stranger.
However, the situation took a devastating turn after she arrived at her house and realised that her money was no longer with her.

The sudden discovery left her shattered, as she struggled to understand how it could have happened during the short trip.
She expressed her frustration and sadness online, and questioned whether to react with anger or sadness towards the man.
In her words:
"I entered danfo on my way back from church and there was this guy sitting beside me. He didn’t even look suspicious. When he got down, he paid for two, including my fare. I was even surprised. Only for me to get home and realize my money is missing. I don’t know if I should swear for him or not."
