"Parking in a private car park doesn't automatically guarantee you security even though one will expect it. If the crime indeed happened in the private car park, I believe the ground should be under surveillance and the criminal(s) can still be known and he will be able to make his report to the police.

Babatunde Olaitan also advised individuals to be more careful about their properties in London because the city has its shortcomings. In his words:

"London like every other big city in the world has its own shortcomings because it is filled with people from all walks of life who come for different reasons. Anyone coming shouldn't take it for granted that you can't be robbed or attacked because it's a saner clime. I will advise people to be more conscious of their environment while in London and above all try dress in modest manner as best as you can."

Uche Nnaji responds to trolls

Legit.ng earlier reported that Uche shared a video on his Instagram page showing the moment ex-BBNaija’s housemate, Boma Akpore, came for a fitting.

However, the video was received with heavy backlash as many faulted the stylist for associating with Boma despite his role with Tega in the BBNaija house.

Nnaji, however, defended the ex-housemate whom he has known for over a decade while adding that there is no evidence to back up the accusations against him.
