Abuja, June 6, 2025 (NAN) 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 Abuja.
Isa said the incident occurred at 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 got 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 said that the FCT Fire Service notified the FEMD Search and Rescue Team of the incident and immediately swooped into action.
“On arrival at the scene, the team found the victim, identified as Khadija Salisu, unconscious but without visible physical injury.
“The woman was promptly taken to the Asokoro District Hospital and has since been responding to treatment,” Isa said.
