"The day I got robbed at home in Lekki, i saw my gateman walked in the living room with 6 men with guns around 7:30 pm. Bruh, it was such a terrible experience. These guys even sat down to drink and argued over which car to steal. The last car parked behind mine actually belonged to a guest who came to visit that night. I had to convince them to take my own car instead, I reversed it for them, and they drove off with all the money, phones, gold they took."
