A Nigerian woman recently shared her unsettling experience in a video, detailing an encounter with a tricycle driver who allegedly approached her as she headed to the gym. The woman recounted how the driver physically grabbed her wrists and wouldn’t release her.

This frightening incident left her feeling vulnerable, especially since she had been a victim of theft in the same vicinity before. In an effort to escape, she resorted to splashing water from her bottle on him, which only provoked the driver, leading him to attempt to assault her while claiming to be 'just playing'.
