Abisola Shares Her Ordeal

Nigerian wedding MC Alaga Abisola Bamidele has called for help after her driver allegedly stole her savings. The money, kept in US dollars, was meant for her child’s school fees.

Abisola told a local entertainment outlet that the driver, Ibrahim Opeyemi Gasali, had worked for her since July. He knew her routine and had regular access to her home.

She said she began saving in dollars after struggling with her bank while paying tuition for her older child abroad. To avoid delays, she decided to keep the cash at home instead of depositing it in her account.

The incident reportedly happened on a normal workday. Abisola said the driver dropped her off at an event, returned home, took the bag of dollars, and disappeared. She described the sum as large but did not disclose the exact amount.

Public Reactions and Social Media Outcry

Abisola said even the driver’s family could not reach him. Through several posts online, she begged Nigerians to help locate him and recover the stolen funds. Her story quickly went viral, drawing sympathy and shock from followers.

Many social media users shared her posts and offered support. Others questioned why she kept such a large sum at home. Some linked her decision to ongoing banking and currency challenges in Nigeria.

Expert Advice on Home Security

Security experts have weighed in, urging Nigerians to limit access to domestic staff. They advised that valuables should be secured and background checks done before hiring household workers. They stressed that trust should never replace safety measures, especially with foreign currency or large cash amounts.

So far, no video or evidence shows how the driver escaped. Abisola has not confirmed whether she filed an official police report. The story remains trending across blogs and social media. Many Nigerians continue to follow updates on the search for the suspect and efforts to recover the stolen funds.

The case has also sparked conversations about home security and savings safety. It highlights the risks of trusting domestic staff too freely. Many users are calling for stricter measures to prevent similar incidents.
