I'm a big fan of your blog and consequently read your updates even though i most times do not comment.

I'm writing you to please use your blog to circulate what I'm about to write for the men who did this to me to be brought to book.

Yesterday, 28th of July 2015, i was to go to work and then left the house around 5:30am in-order to beat traffic. I stay inn Surulere, Akinhanmi area(which is opposite Empire area close to Jibowu). I boarded a bus going to Ojuelegba CMS at about 5:35am at the ForteOil/AP junction opposite Empire. I was to drop at Ojuelegba so i could take a bus going to Ketu from there. 

Immediately i entered the bus, i realized they were all men and became a little bit uncomfortable but i was consoling myself that i would soon alight at Ojuelegba. well, they closed the door and one pretended to want to alight at the GT bank area which is just before Ojuelegba. Immediately i adjusted for him to pass, he sat down beside me and the man behind me grabbed my neck and squeezed it firmly. At that point others grabbed my handbag, my laptop bag and the nylon bag i carried and started removing all contents.I counted them all and found out they were a gang of men with Driver inclusive.

My Phones(Samsung S5, BB Q5 and a Nokia 105) were taken, password for the phones were demanded for and i had to give them. By this time, One of time was already pulling down the zip of my gown while the man beside me was trying to get under my gown and stuff like that. 

I pleaded with them not to rape me but to take what they want. They took my Office laptop and charger and even my Mobile Wifi. then they took my ATM cards and demanded for my pin. When i was a bit reluctant to give them, they push me to the ground of the moving vehicle while they held my neck tighter and the other was trying to unhook my bra. All this while, the bus was moving in top speed to God knows where.

I gave them my ATM pin and soon after, two men out of the eight men dropped while i was still in the bus and the bus kept moving. when i tried to look up, and analyse where we were, i knew we were in Obalende from what i gathered about the surroundings but the bus didn't stop. I heard them call one of them 'officer' and he was giving them direction on how to bypass the checkpoints. 

After a while of moving around, one of them got a call, and said the pin is correct and after then they told me to stand up and sit on the chair which i did. They soon pushed me out of the bus and threw my almost empty bag to me. When i turned to get the plate number of the Bus(danfo yellow and black bus)i only got SMK-831. The last two alphabets were blurry and the bus zoomed off almost immediately i was pushed.

when i became aware of where i was which was already few minutes past six, i knew i was in stadium bus-stop. I saw two policemen at the Stadium traffic light checkpoint and reported the case but they just looked at me and said sorry but there's nothing they can do.

One passerby immediately gave me his phone and i called my sister to tell her what happened and to block my account but which was done.

When i could access my account details, i realized the money was withdrawn while i was still in the bus and total money withdrawn from my accounts is N266,500.00 through the ATM3 of Zenith Bank Alaka Estate Surulere. 

I have since reported to the Ojuelegba Police station but they kept saying there's little or nothing they can do but would call me if they get any information.

Attached is the picture of one of the gang who withdrew the money from my Accounts.

Please, all i was is JUSTICE. let the word be spread so these men don't continue to harm others.

Would appreciate if my identity is not disclosed for security . Please keep me ANONYMOUS.

I had same experience at fadeyi on the 19th of Jan 2015. They beat me like crazy cos I kept screaming. Well I try to be vigilant when boarding a bus but that day i lost my guard when I saw one of the officers of the law(expect it was a disguise) sitting in front. Same tactics."driver my change o I will stop at onipanu," was what one of them kept saying. when he tried to get down the other one pulled me in and collected everything I had. Thank God for life oo.                                Anonymous. June 17, 2016 at 11:32 AM

This man look like a member of the gang that attacked and robbed me and my husband this year. They also withdrew all the money in his account before releasing us.                                                                                     These are experiences shared by victims of one chance in lagos.

Melanie Trump Speech is believed to be a copy of Michelle Obama's speech

(CNN)The Donald Trump campaign denied on Tuesday allegations that Melania Trump plagiarized a Michelle Obama speech on the first night of the Republican National Convention, calling the accusation "just really absurd."

"To think that she would do something like that knowing how scrutinized her speech was going to be last night is just really absurd," Trump's campaign chairman Paul Manafort told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day."

At least one passage in Trump's speech Monday night plagiarized from Obama's address to the Democratic National Convention in 2008.
Side-by-side comparisons of the transcripts show the text in Trump's address following, nearly to the word, the first lady's own from the first night of the Democratic convention in Denver nearly eight years ago.
But Manafort said the words Melania used were not "cribbed" but are common words.
"There's no cribbing of Michelle Obama's speech. These were common words and values. She cares about her family," Manafort said. "To think that she'd be cribbing Michelle Obama's words is crazy."
Manafort said attacks on Trump's speech are due to Hillary Clinton being "threatened" by Trump.
"This is once again an example of when a woman threatens Hillary Clinton, she seeks out to demean her and take her down. It's not going to work," he said.The controversy quickly overshadowed the speech, which was to have been her introduction to voters. It focused on her immigration to the US and her love for her husband.A Republican operative familiar with how the campaign was handling the speeches said a number of senior aides had a role, edited Melania's speech, suggested changes and provided guidance. Manafort told CNN's Phil Mattingly earlier on Tuesday that he wasn't involved in drafting the speech and served solely in a sign-off role.
10 times politicians have plagiarized
The Trump campaign released a statement on the speech after the similarities were uncovered, but the statement did not mention the plagiarism charge.
"In writing her beautiful speech, Melania's team of writers took notes on her life's inspirations, and in some instances included fragments that reflected her own thinking. Melania's immigrant experience and love for America shone through in her speech, which made it such a success," according to Jason Miller, the senior communications adviser.Earlier in the day, Melania Trump told NBC's Matt Lauer: "I read once over it, that's all, because I wrote it ... with (as) little help as possible."Here is Trump, on Monday:
"From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise, that you treat people with respect. They taught and showed me values and morals in their daily lives. That is a lesson that I continue to pass along to our son," Trump said.
And we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. Because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them."
And here is Obama, on August 25, 2008:
"And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you're going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them.
And Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and to pass them on to the next generation. Because we want our children -- and all children in this nation -- to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them."
The reaction:
"(To be honest), I was more offended by just about every other speech than Melania's plagiarized paragraphs," former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau jokingly tweeted as the accusations went viral hours after Trump's address.Jarrett Hill seems to have been one of the first to notice the similarities on Twitter.He's a big fan of the Obamas, and told CNN over the phone that one particular line from Michelle Obama's 2008 speech really spoke to him: "To know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them."
When he heard Melania Trump start saying "the only limit to your achievements," he new something was wrong.
Hill said he then Googled Michelle Obama's speech and saw the similar lines.
"It was kind of a total recall moment," he said.
After he posted the comparison on Twitter, his tweet garnered 16,000 retweets."Um. This is becoming a thing," he later tweeted.
Never gonna let you down?
In an even stranger twist, some on social media posited that Trump surreptitiously Rickrolled everyone in the middle of her speech.
"He will never give up," she said of her husband. "And most importantly, he will never, ever let you down."
The chorus of the 80s classic sounds very similar: "Never gonna give you up/ Never gonna let you down/ Never gonna run around and desert you."
A bit of background -- Rickrolling is where you get someone to unwittingly click on a link to the video of the Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up."
So, for example, if someone were to tell you to click here, saying it's another article about Melania Trump, and you click, you have been Rickrolled.
