They slapped me again, saying, \u2018Who wants your car\u2019? They told me to move to the back seat of the car while they used my car to rob others. They took my money, jewellery, phone and cap.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAt one point, one of the armed robbers told the others, \u2018Let us take him to Ajah and kill him.\u2019 I started begging them not to kill me.
