Have you ever experienced something like this in Lagos?

Because this is not even my worst story…

Should I drop the next one?

[/Abefeholic @Catalysts224]

Lesson:

In this city, trust is expensive.

And distraction is never random.

Everything is part of the plan.

Even the ones that make you laugh.

[/Abefeholic @Catalysts224]

Till today, I still don’t know who took the money.

The watch seller?

The man beside me?

Or the boy who “helped” me check my bag?

Lagos doesn’t give answers.

Only lessons.

[/Abefeholic @Catalysts224]

I called my uncle.

My hand was shaking.

He didn’t shout.

He didn’t even ask questions.

He just said:

“Come back home.”

That silence hurt more than anger.

[/Abefeholic @Catalysts224]

I went back to Ojuelegba police post.

But the officer just looked at me and said:

“Why do you carry cash and enter public transport like that?”

That was all. No help. No hope.

[/Abefeholic @Catalysts224]

I jumped down from the bus immediately.

Started shouting.

People looked at me like I was mad.

But Lagos didn’t stop for me.

Traffic still moved.

Life still moved.

Even my pain didn’t matter.

[/Abefeholic @Catalysts224]

The envelope was gone.

200,000 Naira

Just like that.

No fight. No noise.

Only silence in my head.

[/Abefeholic @Catalysts224]

We got to CMS, and the bus slowed down in traffic.

That’s when a boy tapped me.

“Sir, your bag is open.”

I looked down immediately.

My heart dropped.

[/Abefeholic @Catalysts224]

I touched my bag.

The envelope was still there.

But my confidence was gone.

Something felt off.

[/Abefeholic @Catalysts224]

He showed me one watch.

Shining too much.

I told him I had no money.

He smiled.

Then whispered:

“Check your bag properly.”

That sentence froze me.

[/Abefeholic @Catalysts224]

At the next stop, a guy entered the bus selling wristwatches.

“Original Rolex! Cheap price!”

Everyone ignored him.

But he refused to leave me alone.

“Guy, you look like a person wey need style.”

I laughed.

That laugh cost me everything.

[/Abefeholic @Catalysts224]

On my way to Yaba, I entered a bus at Ojuelegba.

That’s where everything started changing.

A man beside me kept staring at me.

Too much eye contact.

I shifted my seat a little.

But I didn’t know I was already targeted.

[/Abefeholic @Catalysts224]

He gave me the money inside a brown envelope.
200,000 cash.

I held it like my life depended on it.

Because in Lagos… it actually does.

[/Abefeholic @Catalysts224]

It started like a normal day.

My uncle called me early morning.

Abefe, I need you to help me take this money to my supplier in Yaba.

Don’t stop anywhere.

I said yes immediately.

I didn’t even think twice.

That was my first mistake.
