Definitely yes! I’ve been robbed and it was a horrible experience I’d never wish to encounter in my entire life again. It was on a Saturday evening by 5:45pm when my siblings and I were preparing to go for a church program and it happened to be all night program. After we were all set we headed straight to the church with the mean of car transport. We arrived by 6:00pm safely without complications the program was powerful and auditorium filled to the brain we all felt and enjoyed the presence of God right there when worship was going on. After all activity program closed by 4:20am we had to rest our head for about one hour, waking up 5:58am I and my three siblings decided to headed straight to the house to beat time against work in the morning.

On our way trekking to get a tricycle we got stopped by group of persons demanding for our valuables when we refused they forcefully snatched our bag pointing guns and daggers towards up we immediately complied handed over our cash, smartphones, wristwatch, handbag and most funniest part of it they also demanded for our bibles and our footwear’s too. We couldn’t move or shout for help until the culprits zoomed off. It was an experience never to be encountered.

Conclusion

Remember that everyone's response to being robbery is unique, and seeking for support from loved ones,health professionals, or support groups can be helpful in recovering from the experience. Always note prevention requires constant vigilance and awareness thereby taking measures to reduce the risk of being robbed and ensure a safer environment for yourself and others.
