They stripped me naked – Unlike other communities or areas whose problems are that of flooding, electricity, and bad roads etc, Ogba is known for theft and robbery.
The streets of Ogba are filled with unemployed youth and their only source of money is stealing from those who have, either forcefully or deceptively.
My experience with Ogba thieves was so drastic that I thank God that I am still alive.
On that very day after using the ATM, I had about a wad of money with me.
On coming out from the bank’s ATM, I was supposed to take a vehicle to Agege, And I did. But the vehicle I entered is what you call a “One Chance”. Everybody in the bus was a thief and they stripped me naked, not literally.
That is, I was stripped of every valuables on me including my money.
After taking everything from me, they dropped me in the middle of the road.

Government should please do something about unemployment in Ogba community. It will reduce the activity of robberies in the communities
It’s so unfortunate we are living in a communities where securities of life and properties are neglected.
