Attacked, Strangled & Robbed 😭😭💔💔💔💔
On Thursday evening, I was chilling at a certain place in Ntinda. As usual, I decided to head home at around 10:30 PM. I grabbed a boda from a nearby stage where there was only one rider parked there, not knowing he was actually a thief.
I placed my phone in my bag and sat on the boda. As we moved, the rider branched off at Villa Bukoto Road to the left. I asked him why we were leaving the main road, and he calmly replied that it was a faster route that would connect us to Mawanda Road.
At first, I didn’t get scared because there were still shops around. But after some meters, the boda sloped deep down into a route I didn’t recognize. Fear immediately kicked in, and I told him to return to the main road, but he ignored me completely.
The road became darker and more isolated with no shops or people around. My heart immediately told me I was in trouble. I screamed and asked the boda guy to stop so I could get off. He responded, “Jawo olugezigezi.”
A minute later, another boda carrying other men suddenly appeared behind us. That’s when I realized the rider was working together with them. One of the men strangled me from behind, holding my neck tightly, another covered my mouth so I couldn’t scream, while another one started taking everything I had my bag, which had money, phone, wipes, and keys.
After robbing me, they dumped me there alone in the darkness crying like a baby.
I walked in fear and shock until I reached a nearby shop. The people there told me they had heard dogs barking and thought it was just people passing by. Thankfully, I found a good Samaritan who offered to take me home, but instead I asked him to take me back to the restaurant because I remembered I had picked the boda from that stage.
To cut the story short, that man didn’t even belong to that boda stage. He had simply parked there after seeing no riders around, and unfortunately I innocently picked him, not knowing he was targeting people.
At that point, I had no way forward because I had also lost my keys. I asked the boda man who helped me to take me to my friend’s place instead. When we reached, I knocked and asked my friend for 10k to pay him, but the man refused to take the money, saying he only helped me.
May God bless him wherever he is🙏🙏
My friend later took me to the nearest clinic for first aid because I had bruises around my neck.
Thank God for the second chance at life❤️❤️❤️❤️
The fact that some of the biggest CEOs and business moguls in the world flew into China alongside the US President tells you everything about the level of power and influence China has built.
In today’s world, economic power is political power, and China has positioned itself at the center of global business, manufacturing, technology, and diplomacy.
The world may compete with China, but it still has to sit at the same table with China.
From analysis to final reports and drawings, a bridge design is and will always be a proper grind. Long hours, endless discussions and a lot of second-guessing. Seeing it all come together in the end is the kind of satisfaction that makes the whole process worthwhile. 🌉🌉
