Nollywood Actress Laments Nigeria's Insecurity After Attack By Bandits On Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

Nollywood actress, Bimpe Akintunde, has lamented the rate of insecurity in the country after she escaped an attack by suspected bandits at Onigari along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Akintunde on Saturday took to her Instagram handle to issue a warning to other drivers along the road.

According to her, the bandits numbering about 10, were all dressed in military uniform, shooting directly at all vehicles coming to Lagos from Ibadan.

The actress, who was reportedly in the car with her daughter, escaped death narrowly.

She wrote on Instagram, "Let's be careful on Ibadan Express Road, I escaped bandit attack at around after 5:00pm this evening after Oni-Garri on my way to Lagos.

"They were shooting at all of vehicles coming from Ibadan. They were like 10 in army uniform shooting directly at us.

“God saved me and my daughter...like they were shooting directly at us.

"Where are we going in this country? Broad daylight attack! God came through for us. I turned back, followed one way and alerted other drivers.”

This comes barely a week after gunmen attacked a commercial bus along the same route.

Our correspondent had reported last week how gunmen suspected to be of Fulani extraction allegedly launched an attack on a commercial bus and abducted five passengers, including a woman at the Oni-Garri axis of the Lagos-Ibadan Highway.
