Nollywood actor and politician Desmond Elliot has disclosed that he came close to losing his life during the 2020 #EndSARS protests.
Mr. Elliot who is a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, said on Nollywood on Radio that he was firebombed by the protesters while trapped in his Surulere constituency office due to the curfew.
“When there was curfew during the EndSARS period, a lot of bad boys came into Surulere and because of the curfew, I could not go home,” he said.
“I was inside my office and never knew there was going to be anything, so I was watching TV in my office because I had the intention to spend the night at the office.
“Next thing, I heard my landlady’s daughter screaming, saying I don’t stay there.
“When I knew there was a problem was when a bottle with fuel and fire was thrown into my office, and it caught fire.
“I had to call the chief of staff for help. I have never been so scared in my life; it was horrible.”
