He revealed there was no flight from Abuja to Lagos so they went by road. On their way, some masked gunmen attacked them.
In his words "It was day time. We started the trip around 2 p.m. At some point the driver was speeding so we told him to slow down and he assured us that he would because he also loves his life and had just gotten married. I was like okay, at least he is somebody that cares about his life. At some point, myself and Femi offed, we slept. Then later all 3 of us were sleeping and just the driver was awake… obviously we were asleep, so we don't know what happened, we just heard a loud bang. Everyone woke up at this point and we looked ahead. We see these turban-tying, AK47-wielding, dangerous-looking men in the middle of the expressway.

He continued "We were seeing them directly ahead of us. The bang we heard was actually a gunshot. They had shot at the car. Immediately we saw them, there was a second shot. This guy shot at our car and this bullet came flying through the car, through the middle or the car. In between everyone. All these things happening at this point, that are happening happened within 4 seconds… Everything happened so fast. From the first hulled coming, to us waking up, to the second bullet coming to us taking cover, to the third bullet, he shoots the third time and the bullet hit the driver in the eye. The driver dies instantly, foot still on the accelerator, the car still moving"

The incident must have been a really traumatic one for them. Travelling isn't really safe in Nigeria anymore. We can only hope things get better.
