End SARS: How protesters stabbed me, collected my N650,000 – Nollywood actor, Clem Ohameze

Veteran Nollywood actor, Clem Ohameze, has revealed how an angry 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.

Speaking with BBC Igbo on Sunday, Ohameze 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,” the actor explained.

“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.”
