FCT emergency department rescues woman pushed out of moving ‘one chance’ vehicle in Asokoro
The Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Department said it rescued a woman, who was forcefully pushed out of a moving vehicle in Asokoro, Abuja, on Friday.
The department’s Head of Public Affairs, Nkechi Isa, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja.
Ms Isa said that the incident occurred at about 4:30 p.m. at the Powerhouse Bus Stop Junction, Yakubu Gowon Crescent in Asokoro.
According to her, eyewitnesses at the scene said the woman was pushed out of a moving vehicle suspected to be operated by “one chance” syndicate.
She described “one chance” as a criminal gang posing as commercial drivers to passengers, leaving one space (one chance) for an unsuspecting victim.
Once they take off, the criminals dispossess the victims of their valuables and often throw them out of the moving vehicle.
She said that the FEMD Search and Rescue Team was notified of the incident by the FCT Fire Service and it immediately swooped into action.
Ms Isa stated, “On arrival at the scene, the team found the victim, identified as Khadija Salisu, unconscious but without visible physical injury. She was promptly taken to the Asokoro District Hospital and is responding to treatment.’’
