Popular Nollywood actress, Bimbo Thomas has revealed her bitter experience during the Omo Ghetto Part 2 filming in Ebute Metta, Lagos.

She said; “We were shooting in Ebute Metta, and boys would constantly disrupt the set because the film reflected their everyday reality.”

“It’s my area. I thought they would respect me, but we still had to bring in security so we could work.” 

“Funke insisted I join her. She suggested we do a massage like we usually do after work. Eniola Badmus stayed in another hotel.”

“We suddenly heard loud banging and people shouting ‘Ole! Ole!’.”

“We were terrified. Funke is very prayerful, so we all started praying.” 

“I told them she was the face everyone knew. We tried hiding her under the bed, but it didn’t work, so we moved her into the bathroom.” 

“The masseuse was praying in tongues, Funke was praying in tongues, and I was just pleading with God for mercy,”

“When they came back, it was obvious they were searching for Funke. They were calling her name.” 

“I thought they would just collect valuables and leave, but instead they asked her to dress up and dragged her downstairs to her car.” 

“I heard Funke singing Emi Omo Ghetto. I didn’t understand what was happening. They ordered her to sing and dance, and she did.”

“We had no idea they were that many. We were completely helpless.” 

“It was total chaos. Someone was shot, a pastor was rushed to the hospital, and about 20 to 30 of us were stranded at the reception confused, scared, and praying.”

“I was grateful. At that moment, I was ready to attack one of them without thinking. I could have been killed.”

“Even though we settled the area before filming, that incident offended them deeply.”

“When Funke later asked why I didn’t hand her over, I told her if they were going to kill her, they would have killed all of us together.”

“We are grateful to God truly grateful.”
