In a tweet on Friday, she noted that the robber zoomed off as soon as she moved her car.
She wrote, “Last night at about 9pm, one guy almost robbed me on 3rdMB. I was lucky the traffic moved a bit so I moved my car and then he took off.”
The actress then called for a sanitisation of under the bridge at Oworonshoki, stating that that was where the attacker jumped out from.
She further advised her fans to be safe as these robbers target people who are driving alone.

Sharing a screenshot of the tweet on her Instagram page, the actress added, “If you are driving alone in traffic, don’t drive on the fast lane (the last lane by your left), let your car be in between cars.
“Ladies especially, if you can, please stay wherever you are till you see daylight. There is hunger in town.”
