Popular Nollywood actor, Salami Rotimi, was attacked by med robbers while he was in a traffic jam on Monday.
Narrating the incident on his Instagram page, the actor posted a video showing the damage done to his car by the attackers.
“Guys, I just got robbed like an hour ago, I just got robbed along Mile 2,” the actor said in the video.
In the caption, Salami clarified that while he was not hurt, his car suffered damages. He also explained that his car was caught between trailers in the standstill traffic when he was attacked.
“I am not hurt. In between trailers in a stand still traffic… 4 very young boys showed up from no where, Broke my car glass with gun when I refused to whine down. Threatening to shoot if I and my kid brother don’t drop our phones.. Thank God I was sluggish to drop both phones, I gave one and while I was trying to disconnect the other and give to them, people showed up and chased them but they flee with 2 standby bikes parked on the other side of the road.
Please note: do not respond to any WhatsApp chat from the number 08051104332
And please speak to me directly before transacting any business with me this period.
Those boys can do anything with that phone.”
The filmmaker also said the armed robbers threatened to shoot him and his younger brother who was with him in the car if they refused to drop their phones.
While trying to disconnect his other phone, help came his way as motorcyclists parked on the other side of the road chased the boys away.
He then warned people not to respond to any WhatsApp chats from his phone number but speak directly with him before transacting any business.
