Just last week, it was revealed popular Yoruba actress, Mercy Aigbe lost hernexpensive phones after a robber disguised as an electrician came to her shop and stole some of her belongings.
She told Saturday Beats,
"I normally would not want to dwell on the
matter because I cannot regain what they stole
from me but I want people to learn from what
happened to me. I was doing some repairs in
my shop and I asked one of the workers who
fixed the aluminum to help me get an electrician because I did not know any. He agreed and shortly after, someone claiming to be an electrician arrived. I showed him where to work and I left the shop for about 20 minutes.
"I don't know how the guy broke into my office
but he stole my two phones, a blackberry
passport and iPhone 6plus. I thank God he did
not cart away my money. He ran away
immediately he took my phones and before we
knew what was happening, he had disappeared.
The aluminum guy claimed that was not the
electrician he sent to me and till date, I have
not seen the guy. Investigation is still ongoing
but I am devastated because of all the contacts
I have lost. Unfortunately, I did not back up my
contacts," she said.
The actress revealed that the thief broke into her office at a wrong time.
According to her,
"I have a private screening of my movie, Victims, tomorrow and as I have lost my contacts, I don't know how I would follow up on my guests. It has been a major setback for me but I thank God for the strength to cross the hurdle. I have learnt my lesson and anytime I buy a new phone, the first thing I
would do is to back it up."
