It wasn\u2019t business as usual for eccentric popular red carpet host, Denrele, last Friday, when at gun point he was attacked by highway robbers, losing valuables in the encounter.<\/p>\n

The unfortunate incident happened at about 8.45pm along the Oshodi-Anthony highway on his way back from Satellite town where he\u2019d gone to be a part of\u00a0 currently filming reality show \u2013 \u2018who\u2019s got swag?\u2019 anchored by Acquilla Njamah.
Denrele who sat in the back seat of a metallic grey 2010 Toyota Avalon with alloy wheels, was in company of three other friends when the unexpected happened.<\/p>\n

With the car trapped in still traffic, a man was said to have suddenly emerged, hitting the driver\u2019s side glass with a gun demanding that the car occupants surrendered their goods.
\u201cHe just kept shouting, \u2018where\u2019s the money. Where\u2019s\u00a0 the money\u2019? The dude then snatched my (BlackBerry) Torch out of\u00a0 my hand, and my<\/p>\n

coffin-shaped bag. Inside it were my two other phones plus cash\u201d, Denrele narrated.<\/p>\n

The party-lover was on his way home to Ikeja to pick up invitation cards for singer May7ven\u2019s exclusive single release party, which he was to anchor alongside Malta Guinness Street Dance host, Deji Falope. The party was billed for 10pm at the Jay Jay Okocha\u2019s Club 10 in Victoria Island Lagos same night.<\/p>\n

The only recently ex-SoundCity VJ, was dispossessed of three phones: his newly acquired BB Torch, a Bold2 (also BlackBerry) and an XpressMusic Nokia phone which were in his Alexander McQueen coffin-shaped bag. His friend, Wale, who drove the vehicle, also lost a (Blackberry) Torch in the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo why did Wale wind the glass down for the assaulter?\u201d, we asked. \u201cHe panicked. It was (out of) fear\u201d, Denrele replied.
Although the ex-VJ wouldn\u2019t tell exactly how much cash was in the bag, it was enough to keep him away from his evening engagement that day.\u00a0 And rather than brood over the incident, by Sunday the carefree host was back to himself tweeting away and refusing to be weighed down. \u201cWe just thank God. I\u2019m grateful that nothing worse happened. I like to look on the brighter side of life\u201d, he said playfully over the phone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
