Popular Nollywood comic
actor, Mr Ime ‘Bishop’ Umoh, popularly called Okon Lagos, who was recently
appointed Special Assistant to Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State on
Ethical and Social Reorientation, was robbed yesterday, February 13, 2017 in
Warri, Delta State where he had gone for an event.
It was gathered that the
robbers threatened to kill the comic actor and made away with all his gadgets
and money. It was quite disturbing that his wife, Idara Bishop wrote on
Instagram to express her pain and displeasure.
Here is what she wrote:
”So
pathetic that the more we pray for a better Nigeria, the more things become so
sour. Few minutes ago, I had a call from a strange number and the voice I heard
was my hubby’s.
“I
was surprised to receive a call from him with a strange number. He said ‘Baby
pray for me, I’ve just been robbed by robbers in Warri, and all my gadgets and
money have been taken away from me, threatening to kill me also. I’m stranded
and the event I’m supposed to attend here, I can’t make it anymore, no contact
to communicate with anyone for direction, except yours.
“For
the first time I’m feeling this way, how on earth can someone do this to
another man, even to the one that God has given to this country and the world
as a gift of antismile to clear away people’s sadness.
“I
pray only to God to touch their minds, and as they have said, they will return
the phones and other items taken, but only and if money will be paid to them
without informing the police, which is not a problem,”
“I
pray for my husband’s safety and that of my family, may God continue to keep
and preserve my household, also pray for the safety of all my husband’s
colleagues @jnrpope @walteranga @mikegodson @empressnjamah,@funkymallam
@daniellaokeke @mikeezu and all of them. Safety is yours @Okon Lagos.”
