Lady narrates how passersby helped her arrest thief who snatched her bag

According to her, the passerby were attracted by her cry for help after the culprit snatched the bag and was heading towards a dark alley.

She wrote:

I was robbed last night on my way home, just before Ajah under bridge from ilaje. In a split second of moving my bag from my shoulder to my hand, someone tore my dress, snatched it and took off. I immediately ran after him shouting “ole ole” & might’ve caught up but I became scared because he was running towards a dark spot so I stopped chasing him.

I returned to the initial point distraught & confused. I didn’t know what next to do because my bag had my keys, cash, cards, phone, etc, so I just stood there heaving & very near tears.

Some passers by started asking questions, a babe told me to go home & break my lock (not sure it’s possible). Next, some men started to call for me to come. The babe advised me not to go but a man offered to go along w me (I’m a very paranoid person so I assumed he was in on it).

Then, I saw 3 men walking towards us pushing 1 fwd, the thief. Turned out my screams alerted them & they nabbed him. They made him return my bag & stayed while I made sure everything was intact–phone, wallet w all my money, cards, etc. Some walked w me till I got in a vehicle.

I’m so grateful to everyone that helped in some way. It was comforting to see good people out there in the streets of this place called a country.
