Armed-robbers rob star actress, Funke Akindele
By Samuel Olatunji

Dare devil-armed robbers, last week, robbed star actress, Funke Akindele at gun point in Ojodu area of Lagos. The popular actress, popularly known as ‘Jenifa’ was returning home from a visit and was in the car with some people when the armed men double-crossed her car and demanded that she handed over her valuables or risk being shot.

The actress, it was learnt, promptly obeyed and gave the sons of the gun her Blackberry phones and a bag full of money. One of the armed men who recognized her later threw a bundle of N50 000 into the car saying: ‘Jenifa, use that one to take care of yourself’. Funke was said to have been visibly shaken after the encounter and left the venue thanking God that her life was spared.

A close aide of the actress told Showbiz Now that the actress is still in a state of shock, lamenting the loss of enormous contacts and an undisclosed amount of money. ‘Funke cannot talk much now o. She is still in shock but grateful no one was hurt in the car’.

The actress, we learnt, has also postponed the premiere of her highly anticipated movie, Omo Ghetto which was to take place at the National Arts Theatre on October 24. The reason behind the postponement is still unclear and no one can say for sure if the robbery incident has anything to do with it.

whiteroses:

but that thing on her head is hilarious seriously  

Anyone knows that I loff Jenifa, but seriously, she got robbed. So?
Is she not alive to tell the news?

roll eyes. Oya pele o.

eeeya, I feel for the chick,

But wait a minute, what do you expect in an insecured society where poverty is rife and pangs of hunger are felt like a second skin?
Where a privileged few flaunt their wealth (whether ill-gotten or clean-gotten) at the faces of desperate people?

My advise, in order to forestall such incidences, our actresses/actors including musicians should stop showing off their wealth and live low like average human beings that they are!

Yesterday somewhere in Zaria, a lecturer's husband was shot dead by dare devil armed robbers and they made away with his 2009 model range rover jeep.

Dear sister, I thank God that you wrer not hurt in the process but careful next time oooh!

may GOD cont 2 b her guide

The Armed Robber is giving her the money as if its his own! We are living in a society where the Armed Robbers are supposedly the ones in control of our money, our property and even our lives!!

I have never heard of any hollywood actor/actress being robbed

Eeyah, I feel sorry for her.

Hope she's got a back-up for her SIM contacts
