Adorable actor, Joseph Benjamin, has
applauded his insurance company for
helping to recover his stolen car.
Last Sunday evening, armed robbers
snatched a 2007 Toyota Camry car
belonging to Benjamin around Magodo
area of Lagos. The news of the robbery
incident went viral on social media as
tweets, Facebook posts and BBMs battled
for prominence in blogosphere.
At the time of the incident, the star-actor
was in Aberdeen, Scotland, for the
screening of his breakthrough movie,
“Tango With Me.” A friend of the popular
host of soar away music reality television
show, MTN Project Fame, was driving the
car.

When contacted, Benjamin said the
incident happened around 7pm. “I had
just returned to London from Aberdeen
for a photo shoot when my friend called
and was hysterical on the phone. She
said my car had been snatched around
Magodo area. She was crying her heart
out so I had to calm her down and
assured her that there was no problem.
Immediately, I called my insurance
company, and informed them of the
theft. They told me not to panic that the
car would be recovered in no time.
Though, I did not doubt them, I was
tempted to broadcast the news on
Blackberry just in case anybody had a
clue. I also put my London phone
numbers if anybody had information
that could lead to the recovery of the
car.”
Continuing, he said, “I was shocked
when about 15minutes later, a staff of
my insurance company called me to say
the car had been found in Ipaja area of
Lagos, adding that it has been
demobilised. I didn’t believe it until my
friend went to confirm that it was
indeed true.”
