“I thought he needed help, then he grabbed…” – Lady shares traumatic Abuja ordeal with 7-year-old boy
A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to share a disturbing experience she had with a young boy at a traffic light in Wuse, Abuja, leaving her visibly shaken.
In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), she explained that she had just returned from the gym and was stopped at a traffic light when a young Almajiri boy approached her car, as is commonly seen in the area.
However, she claimed the boy behaved aggressively while knocking on her window, making her initially think he might break the glass.
“This small boy, one of these Almajiri boys, he should be like 7 to 9 years old. He came to my window and was knocking so hard. I could literally feel like my glass was breaking,” she said.
She explained that when she eventually rolled down her window to calm him, the situation escalated further.
According to her, the boy refused to let her close the window and insisted she give him money. Moments later, she alleged that the boy attempted to snatch her gold chain while she was still in the car.
“When the light turned green, I just felt something on my chest like a slap. This boy tried to grab my gold chain, he cut it and ran away,” she said.
The lady expressed shock over the incident, noting that the boy appeared to be no more than seven years old, describing the experience as deeply traumatizing.
The incident has since sparked conversations online about street begging, child protection, and rising insecurity in major Nigerian cities like Abuja.
