Greetings Everyone.
welcome to my blog and another wonderful edition of the hive learners featured post. Today we will be talking about the hero that saved the day, indeed not every hero posses any superpower.
Anyone can be a hero, you just need to take the risk, to be a hero most times you need to put your life on the line and the needs of others before yours, I have seen people do heroic things for another especially dads but for the contest, I will be sharing how a truck driver help us escape armed robbery attack.
In 2014 my whole family and I except for my dad travelled to the village for my grandmother's burial, well the burial was a huge success and we all returned thanks to God and due to the nature of my mom's work back then, we could not stay for too long so two days after the burial we had to leave the village and headed back to Yobe state which was where my mom was serving as a nurse.
The journey from Abia State to Yobe state back then was quite stressful as we spent at least two days on the road before arriving Yobe state, the journey was quite a smooth one and I enjoyed it as it was the time to bill my mom a little by asking to buy anything I set my eyes on.
After journeying for hours we arrived lokoja at around 11:57PM only to find some men on Black robbing people on the highway, we were lucky the driver was active enough that he sighted them from afar and he immediately out the vehicle on reverse, we went far and he parked the vehicle there, the adults started stopping other vehicles and warning them about what was going on in front.
We were not alone on this as over 10 vehicles also stopped there, the place became very lively, as a kid I was enjoying it but the adults were scared to loose their valuables but I had none 😂 so why should I be scared. At around 1:00AM a driver went to check if they were still there, he came back and confirmed they were still there robbing whoever they set there eyes on, it was getting really cold and babies there were crying seriously and this made everybody restless.
At around 2:45AM, a truck driver came along and he was stopped as well he told the drivers to ask their passengers to enter their vehicles and follow him, nobody knew his plans but we all followed his instructions, on reaching the point where the robbers were he speed up and the robbers were forced to leave the road, all they could do was release some shots on the truck.
The deriver was the hero that saved the day, we all would have waited until daybreak to continue the journey if not for the truck driver.
Thanks for reading my post.
