disclosed one of the robbers accosted him and asked him to handover his money. At first glance, I felt he was joking, but the man brought out a gun and threatened to shoot if I refuse to give him money. I managed to strike the gun down not knowing he had another gun in his pocket, he immediately pulled the other gun and shot me

almost at the same time. I was saved by God, because at the time he pulled the trigger, I had slipped from one of the staircases he attacked me and so the bullet only scratched part of my stomach. I only saw the one who attacked and took the money from me, but I have been told by Police the robbers were four in numbers, he told this reporter. The police have taken over the matter and have begun investigation.
