Nigerian actress Angela Okorie who celebrated her birthday last week with the underprivileged has revealed how she escaped death in the hands of men of the underworld.
The actress whose birthday with the underprivileged flooded social media timeline said that but for the timely intervention of some security officials, that birthday would have been her last.
Angela told Saturday Beats that the sad occurrence happened after her charity event with the less privileged.
“I am grateful to God for life. I am a humanitarian and I am always happy whenever I give back to the society. That was why I celebrated my birthday with the underprivileged,” she said.
But the event would have gone sour if the armed robbers had succeeded with their plan.
“My brother was driving and since the road was rough, he had to slow down because of a pothole. All of a sudden, he just told me to bend my head in the car because I was not concentrating. By the time I would realise what was happening, some armed robbers had double crossed us and they alighted from their cars with guns. They approached our car and cocked their guns, ready to shoot. They almost shot us but before we knew it, some officers of the Nigerian Customs Service showed up from nowhere. They intervened and immediately, my brother seized the opportunity to zoom off. That was how we were saved.
“I believe it was God that sent those Customs guys to us because they were not on the road and they came out from nowhere. When I saw the robbers, I was scared but I had faith in God. I wonder what would have happened if God was not on my side.”
