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."
