It is just emerging that model and rugged macho man Kenneth Okolie, who is the current Mr. Nigeria, and who was second runner up at the Mr. World 2010, was ambushed and shot seven times last week by a gang of armed robbers. According to reports, the attack took place on Tuesday (January 4), along Festac Road (Lagos) in the evening. Some of his attackers rode up to his car on a motorcycle, while some were already positioned on the street ready for the ambush. They shot in the air to scare people off and proceeded to dispossess Kenneth of valuables worth close to N350,000 ($2300). The robbers took their heels when residents of the area began to raise the alarm, but not before shooting Festus seven times, leaving him by his Prado jeep bleeding profusely. Luckily the injuries which Festus received were not fatal. He was quickly rushed off to the hospital by kind-hearted residents of the area, where 6 bullets were removed from his body.
