Popular Nollywood actor, Adeniyi Johnson, has recounted how he narrowly escaped an attempted robbery in Lagos State upon his return to Nigeria.

The actor narrated how the incident happened on his Instagram account on Monday.

Sharing a video and an image to show the damages done to his car, the 47-year-old actor noted that the situation could have been worse if he were not “smart and at alert”.

The film star also revealed that the attack happened in a flash, with three armed thugs surrounding his car and attempting to vandalise it.

Story time again. Lagos needs better security than those stop and search that ask oga how weekend anything for us. Got back to the country I mean my country and na robbery dem take welcome me, imagine o.

Thank God for smartness and alertness! If not, the attached video would have been worse! It all happened within 15 seconds. I heard a big bang on my windshield, and the next thing I saw were 3 thugs all over my car.

“Trust me they were more but that was all my eyes out of fear could count! 1 on the driver’s side and 2 on the other side. From both sides I heard ‘yo mirror e’ (remove the mirror) and the other side ‘fo glass e’ (break the windshield). All these happened because of two ‘mumu’ trailers with smoke occupying the whole road and not driving on their lanes! While looking for a way to manoeuvre and overtake, I fell victim o. This happened after Alapere,” he wrote.

The actor also disclosed that this was the second time he had experienced such an incident this year.

“Once you descend from the third mainland bridge and approach the secretariat before Magodo. Guys please stay woke and be safe. The only damage done is the last slide. God is God. Ekule o.

“I forgot to mention this is the second time I’m experiencing this. The first time was April around 7:15 pm. Today’s own was around 11 pm. God keep keeping us,” he added.
