Man narrates how squatting with friend almost took his life
He narrated that while he went to the bathroom, his friend, overwhelmed by a sense of fear and confusion, followed him with a knife in hand, screaming "thief."
In a moment of panic, the man managed to grab his friend's hand and shout his name, reminding him that they were sharing the same living space.
It became apparent that his friend had become so accustomed to sleeping alone that he had forgotten the man was present.
He wrote;
“Started a job on the island. I go squat with my guy. First night, I went to pee. My guy came after me with knife, screaming thief. Him almost chook me. I hold him hand, shout him name. Mans had been so used to sleeping alone that he didn't remember I was there.”
Commenting on the story, a Lagos resident, Emmanuel Chukwunonso, said the city trains people to be security conscious and alert.
In his words:
"Anyone who lives or has lived in Lagos has to be security conscious. It is a very busy city. You don't know who is who. Normally you will find yourself being too alert about security."
