Two popular
Nigerian actors, Bolaji Amusan, popularly called Mr Latin, and Odunlade Adekola
were attacked by armed robbers on Saturday night.
The actors were returning from a
Glo music show in Ijebu-Ode, when their cars ran into the armed robbers who had
laid siege along Ilishan-Sagamu road.
Mr Latin narrated the ordeal saying:
“We left Ijebu-Ode after the show
and heading to Abeokuta, when at about 7.30 p.m. we ran into the armed robbers
already stationed themselves on the road,” he said.
The actor explained that Odunlade
was driving ahead of his car when he sighted the road block by the bandits.
Odunlade attempted to make a detour, but the bandits rained
bullets on the tyres forcing the car to a halt, he explained.
Mr Latin, who drove in his Toyota
Camry behind Odunlade’s Toyota Avensis, said he and his colleague, alongside
some of their aides, had to abandon their vehicles and run into the bush.
He said they were in the bush for
almost two hours, while the bandits ransacked their vehicles, carting away
valuables including money and mobile phones.
“We took to our heels as the
robbers pursued us with guns. We were in the bush for about two hours, before
we later regained freedom after the robbers left the scene,” Mr Latin stated.
He said
some vigilante members later came to their rescue and they were taken to Ogun
State University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu for medical treatment.
He said the
matter has been reported to the police and thanked God for sparing their lives.
