Wow, thanks to @air-clinic for this amazing opportunity to share this. It happened on a Saturday evening, April 23, 2016, precisely, an unforgettable day.
My Dad, Mum, my friend and I were coming back from a wedding and then, something happened on our way.
On getting to a bushy part of the road, We saw a packed car in front of ours and saw some people lying down in the middle of the road. We actually thought they had an accident or so, not knowing that they were being ordered to lie down by Fulani gun men.

We were moving closer to rescue them when these men came out with their guns and started shooting our car. As at then, we were already close, it was too late to reverse back. We were screaming and shouting in the car, Jesus! Jesus!! Jesus!!!. It dawned on us that we had already entered the trap.

They kept shooting till we reached where they are and then we were ordered to park the car and they dragged us all out of the car. We all went into the bush to lie down while they searched through the car and packed every valuables there.

God saved my friend and I from rape that day. I was just wondering *

"If anyone would even rape me, will it now be Fulani men?" No way!*

I was praying silently in the bush. They were with real guns. It wasn't funny at all. They were about to face us with their guns when a car ran passed us and these Fulani men, maybe thought they were going to bring the Police or so. The car that passed made them carry all the things they got, and ran far into the bush, leaving us with an empty and weak car after shooting and spoiling lots of things in the bonnet.

That was how God saved us from death that day. He said our lives are in his hands and no weapon fashioned against us shall prosper. It was a near death experience but we were saved. Glory to God.
