The Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Department (FEMD) says it has rescued a woman who was forcefully pushed out of a moving vehicle in Asokoro, Abuja, on Friday.

The department’s Head of Public Affairs, Mrs Nkechi Isa, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja.

Isa said that the incident occurred at about 4:30 p.m. at the Powerhouse Bus Stop Junction, Yakubu Gowon Crescent in Asokoro.

According to her, eyewitnesses at the scene said the woman was pushed out of a moving vehicle suspected to be a robbery by “one chance” operators.

She described “one chance” as a criminal gang posing as commercial drivers with passengers, leaving one space (one chance) for an unsuspecting victim.

Once they take off, the criminals dispossess the victims of their valuables and often throw them out of the moving vehicle.

“She was promptly taken to the Asokoro District Hospital and is responding to treatment,” Isa said. (NAN)
