Actress Kemi Afolabi Recounts Horrific Ordeal After She Was Attacked By Armed Robbers


Nollywood actress, Kemi Afolabi has revealed she is still in a state of shock after she was attacked and macheted by armed robbers in the Arepo area of Ogun State.

She said she was on her way back from a movie shoot on Tuesday night when she was attacked in traffic.

Sharing photos and videos from the scene of the attack, she also expressed sadness at the state of insecurity in the country.

I am in a state of shock! Traumatized!! I haven’t closed my eyes to sleep since yesterday.

I also experienced the highly poor insecurity state in Nigeria which has become a norm. No matter how much we scream and cry it always falls on deaf ears of those who govern us even when death is involved.

My driver and I were attacked by armed robbers at Arepo where I went to film while in traffic on our way back home yesterday, They broke my windscreens, left my whole body with wounds and skin in pains because of the impact of the shattered glass which was forcefully broken while I was in the car, my arm was cut with cutlass, they took my phones, belongings and ran off! Sadly my driver also took a hit to his head.

Still I am thankful because it could be worse! However, this is nothing compared to what I’ve been through in recent times.


No matter what may come my way, I will forever be grateful to God for preserving my life.
