“I can’t remember the year. I was 10. Or less. Woke up to a loud crash and turned to see the window of the children bedroom broken. My mother rushed in, grabbed my brothers and I and moved us to her room. Most of it is a blur but I remember we were moved to the front porch.”

“Will never forget that hand on my neck looking for a gold chain. I have never been more afraid.”
@Eso_nameh said:
“A week after I left my uncle’s house, his wife sister that stays with them, was robbed in my room. They tore my window and stole her phone. She later got a small button phone, the thief came and stole it again. It’s three years now, she doesn’t have a phone. She’s still traumatised.”
@Davidremembers_ said:
“Till today, I can never sleep off till I check if the door is properly locked.. as funny as it sounds, one of the armed robbers used a rope from his clothes to tickle my nose for seconds to confirm if I was asleep. My heart beat faster that day than it beat for Amarachi.”
@Iketechnologies said:
“In January 2020. I woke up to a gun pointed to my forehead in my bedroom. The command was simple: SHOUT, I SHOOT. I immediately lifted my 2 hands in surrender. They took whatever they could and disappeared. My heartbeat malfunctioned for a couple of months after the incident.”
