Nollywood actor, Deyemi Okanlawon, on Thursday narrated his encounter with an errant road user in Lagos.
The actor via his Twitter account revealed how he managed to escape beatings from hoodlums after a driver, who brushed his car, raised a false alarm against him.
According to him, the driver had called his assistant a thief after the latter tried to settle the matter amicably.
He further revealed that the false alarm then attracted “area boys” who started hitting his assistant.
“Never been so livid! Guy scratches my car and my assistant went with him so we could settle the matter down the road
“Guy drives another way, gets out of his car then starts shouting “THIEF”! Before I could figure what was going on area boys gathered & started beating my assistant!
“Of course the area boys, after one of them chopped slap for the stupidity of laying hands on my guy, turned on the guy once I showed up. I now had to choose between payback and de-escalating the situation!
“He was really going to let area boys injure my assistant! A part of me actually wished he had tried to fight instead of pleading. I just know someone would have bled!” He tweeted.
He also added that the experience had left him “shaken,” as he had come dangerously close to “physically harming another human being.”
“Omo, we were raised to value peace but have the training to really cause damage. Still shaken up by how close I came to physically hurting another human being this morning!
“God o, me that my career is just starting to make sense please deliver me from evil!” he prayed.
