According to the woman,'  she boarded a bus from Osogbo to Ibadan  then took another to Lagos.

She said all the way from from Osogbo to Ibadan their was not policemen and other security agencies on the road it was seamless driving.

"I am aware there is curfew in the country, but because of my husband he wants me to bring his children, that was why I decided to take the risk to bring them down, but I never knew I would get to Lagos late.

"It was when we go to Lagos, that I saw policemen that stop the vehicle that conveyed me from Ibadan,  if there was police on the road from Ibadan wouldn't get to Lagos. When we go to Berger bus stop every passengers in the bus were asked to come down, after awhile they allowed me and my children to go."

She added: " It was when I and my children were wandering about that the Police boss who was passing by saw us where we were standing helplessly and came to our rescue.

"I want to thank him, because if not him I don't know what would have happened to me and my children. He took good care of us, before taking my children and I to my grandmother house at Ojodu before proceeding on our journey the following day to Idi-Iroko, Ogun State.

"The impression I had about Nigeria police before now has changed totally with what the Police boss did for my children and i. I will forever remain grateful to him and his men who work with him for saving our lives."
