Derenle Edun, family, robbed at gun point in Yaba home

Denrele alerted his followers during the robbery incident in Lagos.
The Yaba, Lagos, home of grieving Channel O Vj,  Denrele, who is still mourning the death of his best friend and business partner, Goldie, came under siege in the early hours of Sunday after five armed men robbed the occupants of their belongings.
Denrele, who has been off the social media network since Goldie’s death, announced the incident in the wee hours of the night to his over 82, 269 Twitter followers. Although a good number of them felt the eccentric TV personality was only joking, his persistent call for help from the Adekunle Police Station, which is a stone throw from his home, evoked a sense of urgency.
According to tweets on his page, he was visiting his family- which included his 72-year-old dad, 86-yr-old grandma and three female cousins, one of whom just delivered a set of twins- for the first time since Goldie passed on.
In his tweets, he said despite the fact that one of the robbers recognised his face, one of them almost shot him but for his grandmother who begged them.
He also said one of the armed robbers almost strangled his grandmother.
Here are a few Denrele tweets; more could be read on his Twitter handle, @Derenle_Edun.
