RE: Narrowly Escaping The Onslaught Of A Botched Robbery

As Nigerians, we need to change our notion about individuals who have lived abroad and return home thereafter as being rich, as this is not often the case. This attitude is what makes some of us, particularly those with bad intentions, aim at extorting such individuals. Experience has shown that some of these returnees are not as affluent as most of us assume them to be.

Regarding the action of our neighbour's relative who tried to escape during the robbery attack, I believe he made that attempt because he realised that there was an opportunity to seek help that may lead to the rescue of his family. Regardless of the risk, I think he achieved that after alerting everyone about the presence of the robbers.

Like you said, the experience was not a pleasant one, especially for me, who before the incident, had never faced such a life-threatening situation.

Thank you for reading, Nkem.
