Earlier in July, a certain man innocently gave a stranger a lift on his way to Google office from Berger to Ikoyi, Lagos state.
Halfway into the ride, the stranger asked the man to stop him and quietly he alighted from the car.
Suspicious of his attitude, the man checked his bag and noticed his laptop was missing. He came down from his car and gave the stranger a hot chase. His laptop was eventually recovered from the stranger.
This speaks to all us in different ways. We must be very careful when offering people we don’t know free rides, especially on lonely roads.
Some people have gotten themsleves robbed or even kidnapped just by this genuine act of kindness.
Always be cautious, your safety and happiness comes first.
