Veteran Nollywood actor, Clem Ohameze has narrated how a mob attacked and robbed him in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state capital, during the #EndSARS protest.
Pictures had earlier surfaced online showing the film star’s hand and ankle bandaged. In one of them, he is seen entering his vehicle after visiting a clinic to receive treatment.
Clem Ohameze in an interview with BBC said that the attack occurred on Thursday while he was working on a movie set along Abak Road.
“It happened on Thursday in Uyo. The protesters, I ran into them. On recognizing me, they just didn’t want to bother. They took everything away from me. Took N650,000 from me, all my phones. Destroyed my car, slashed my hand with a machete. I did a police report when this happened. I was on Abak Road in Uyo. I went to work on a movie set of my own.”
Amid the crisis that ensued across the country as a result of the #EndSARS protest, there had been serial looting of private businesses, destruction of government properties, and burning of police stations. This had prompted the declaration of curfews of varying durations to restore normalcy across states including Lagos, Ekiti, Edo, Plateau, Rivers, Kaduna, Kwara, and Oyo.
