‘Nigeria is not safe’ — BBNaija’s Cross alleges beggar robbed him in Lagos

Reality TV star Cross Okonkwo has alleged that he was robbed by a street beggar while in Ikate, Lekki, Lagos.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate shared his experience in a social media video, where he expressed anger over the incident and questioned the security situation in the city.

Cross said some beggars approached his car while he was in the area and began talking to him through the window. He claimed that one of them suddenly reached into the vehicle, took an item and ran away.

According to him, he attempted to pursue the man but was unable to catch him.

Cross subsequently turned his attention to the government’s handling of street begging in Lagos, questioning why beggars were allowed to operate around busy areas.

He described the incident as evidence of the security challenges faced by residents and motorists.

“Nigeria is not safe,” he said, while calling for greater attention to the issue.

The reality star also described the situation as unfair and said he could not understand why the authorities continued to allow such activities on the streets.

Cross’s comments have since generated discussion about street begging, petty crime and security in Lagos. The alleged theft has not been independently verified.
