Media personality D English Alhaji has sparked reactions online after recounting an alleged encounter with suspected bandits who reportedly contacted him through a video call.
Sharing his experience in a video, he claimed the individuals reached him through his WhatsApp number, which he said is publicly available on his Facebook page.
According to him, he was shocked after answering the call and allegedly coming face-to-face with armed individuals on video.
He further alleged that the callers questioned him about his religion and asked him to recite Islamic expressions, while also speaking Yoruba during the interaction.
D English Alhaji claimed the suspected bandits later pointed the camera toward what appeared to be ammunition, adding that the encounter left him deeply frightened and concerned about the growing boldness of criminal groups.
His words …
“Nigerians, yesterday in the afternoon, band!ts called me yesterday on a video call. On a video call, you can see the confidence. These guys are no longer hiding.
I was just sitting down my phone rang. My WhatsApp number is on my Facebook page. So they went there and took the number. I saw the band!t profile picture, immediately I picked the call, see me face to face with band!t. My heart nearly left my body.
But still I try calm myself. They asked me if I were a Christian or Muslim. I told them I’m Chris-Mus. They now said I should say something in Muslim. These guys were even speaking Yoruba, small small children.
These guys turned the camera and showed me ammun!t!on. Broski, these guys are not scared….”
