She also revealed that her driver, an elderly man, was also a victim of the attack.
According to the actress, her driver got hit on the head by their assailants. She said the incident occurred at Arepo in Ogun State, where she went to film on Tuesday.
Accompanying her post on her verified Instagram account with about 1.7 million followers, Afolabi captioned the images with these words as she narrated her experience, “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 a cutlass, they took my phones, belongings and ran off! Sadly my driver also took a hit to his head.” (sic)
Despite all she went through last night in the hands of her assailants, the actress noted that she is thankful to God because things could have gotten worse.
She said, “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. PS: This message is typed via my daughter’s phone. If you are not able to reach me for now; you know why. IT IS WELL.” (sic)
