The BBNaija star recounted that she heard some noises and voices at 4:45am in the morning and rushed out almost undressed to see what was happening.

According to her, she saw five men who were fully armed in her sitting room. Noting that they identified her, they told her to go back into her room and not say a word.

Dorathy said she was told that they were looking for some internet fraudsters who ran into her estate. The upset star stated that her mum had a panic attack from the intrusion of the EFFCC officials.
