The gunmen, who were dressed in black,
hijacked the car after firing several gunshots that forced residents of the
area to flee in fear for their lives. It was later discovered that two passengers
were in the stolen car at the time of the incident – the car owner and a
passenger who had jumped off the bridge to escape from the scene.
In chat with the escaped passenger, a young man in his late 30s, he narrated that they had been trailed to the robbery scene before being finally stopped by the gunmen, who then collected the car keys before taking away the car along with the car owner.
He revealed that he
had jumped off the bridge out of fear for his life, saying: “We were trailed
and stopped here on the bridge, they fired gunshots, and because of the fear of
being shot, I ran for safety by jumping off the bridge. They snatched car keys
and fled with the car and the owner.”
The young man also disclosed that the car
owner had just recently purchased the vehicle after winning a sports bet.
However, while some eyewitnesses claimed that the victim was robbed and whisked
away because he was suspected of having a deal with the gunmen before the
incident, others alleged that the car owner might have duped the gunmen before
being trailed to the scene.
As of the time of filing this report, the
whereabouts of the car owner and the stolen car are unknown.
