"They were armed with guns and so forced our driver out of the vehicle and gave him a serious beating," Adesoji told This Day.
"As they were busy collecting these items (iPads, cellphones, wallets), a police patrol team came by. The robbers abandoned the looting that was going on and fled into the nearby forest."
However, the team will still fulfil its obligations against Warriors, despite being shaken up by the incident.
