Veteran music producer, Laolu Akintobi took to Facebook to share his own experience with the robbers saying, ‘Alert! My phone plus some amount of money were stolen this afternoon (at gun point) by the bad boys (about 5 of them) of Mile 2 between Festac 2nd gate and Mile 2 bus stop. Please be on the look out and not fall victim of fraudsters claiming to be me or using the information on the phones for dubious intentions. I was really shocked but am fine now’.
