Teju Babyface's Wife Robbed On Eko Bridge
Comedian, Talk Show host and TV producer Teju Babyface’s wife, Tobi Oyelakin, was on her way to the mainland at about 8 pm last night when her car was attacked by hoodlums on Eko Bridge.
At the time of the accident the woman was in the car with her driver and 3 other girls in the back seat. They were approaching the National Theater area of the Eko bridge when encountered some traffic. They had barely come to a stop when 4 boys jumped out of the shadows, shattered the windows on both sides of the car and proceeded to rough-handle the ladies sitting in the back seat and collect all valuables.
The hoodlums opened all the bags and poured the contents into nylon bags they brought along. This was in the presence of all other motorists on the bridge. The robbery went on for well over 2 minutes from start to finish.
When hoodlums had finished and disappeared into the shadows, the occupants of the car were able to drive away.
Further down the bridge they saw policemen on patrol and reported to them that they had been robbed. The policemen in their turn empathized (or sympathized) with them by saying ‘ah, those boys have started again’.
Commenting on the incident, Teju said:
“One realizes that this is becoming almost commonplace and acceptable in Lagos as reports reaching us indicate that it happens daily. That may very well be an axiom but I share this with you to bring attention to what threatens to become endemic. A great contretemps I must confess.”
Luckily, no one sustained serious injuries in the attack and Teju’s wife is fine but very upset and shocked.
