Popular Nollywood actors, Bolaji Amusan a.k.a Mr Latin and Odunlade Adekola were attacked by armed-robbers on Saturday night.
According to Premium Times report, the duo 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 puts it this way: “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 said that Odunlade was driving ahead of his car when he sighted the road block by the bandits. He tried to make a detour, but the thieves’ 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.
Latin added that 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.Latin added that the matter has been reported to the police and thanked God for sparing their lives.
