Nigerian actress, Yvonne Jegede, on Friday shared her ordeal with a roadside robber in Lagos.
According to her, she was almost robbed at the Third Mainland Bridge at about 9pm on Thursday night.
The Nollywood star noted that she got lucky when the traffic moved a bit and she was able to move her car.
In a tweet on Friday, she noted that the robber zoomed off as soon as she moved her car.
The actress then demanded that the area beneath the Oworonshoki bridge be sanitized, claiming that this is where the attacker leaped out.
She also warned her followers to be cautious because these criminals target persons who are driving alone.
“The area beneath the Oworonshoki bridge needs to be cleansed. The man leapt from beneath the bridge. They specifically target solo drivers. Guys, stay safe,” Jegede wrote.
“If you are driving alone in traffic, don’t drive on the fast lane (the last lane on your left), let your car be in between cars,” the actress wrote, sharing a screenshot of the tweet on her Instagram page.
“If you can, stay wherever you are until you see daybreak, especially ladies.” The town is starving.”
Jegede isn’t the only celebrity to decry traffic thievery in Lagos. Soso Soberekon, a music executive, and actress Chidi Mokeme have both spoken out about their ordeals.
