Shogunle area of Lagos at 7a.m. and reportedly accosted occupant of the
vehicle, a woman later identified as Dr. Nkiruka Ubani.

her, ordering her to get down from the vehicle, others were said to
have kept watch for any intruder.
The visibly shaken Dr. Ubani was said to have pleaded with the
robbers to take all she had but the vehicle, which she said was an
official car.

have dragged her out; threatening to shoot her if she raised any alarm.

number plate BR 167 BBG with the inscription Lagos State health
Development Project II and zoomed off.
