Man escapes injury in cutlass attack during road robbery

A Nigerian man identified as Dada Temitope has taken to social media to express gratitude for his life and well-being after he was almost hacked by a cutlass-wielding robber.

Dada took to the microblogging platform, Twitter to share details of the incident that occurred on the morning of April 20th, just before Otedola Bridge, Lagos.

He shared a video that the effect the robbery attempt had left on his car. The robber had apparently slashed at it which left a huge gash on the glass.

He added that a police checkpoint was nearby the location of his nearly successful robbery, and that when he told the cops about it, they merely expressed pity.

He wrote;

“Almost got robbed this morning just before Otedola bridge.

Thank God for Grace, street OT and my tinted nylon.
