Taking to her Instagram story on Thursday afternoon December 1, she described the incident as the most traumatic experience she has ever had, adding that watching the CCTV footage is devastating.
“Thank you so much for all your calls and messages. Probably the most traumatic experience I ve had and watching the CCTV of how I was robbed is devastating but thank God no physical harm was done,” she wrote.
“Material things, however, steep, can and always will be replaced. Thankful that’s all they took. It’s not how I wanted to begin December but life is lived forward and understood backwards. It will make sense someday,” she added.
Earlier this week, Nigerian singer, Yemi Alade, also bemoaned being robbed on her Instagram page after travelling to Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire, to perform over the weekend.
