Former Big Brother Naija housemate Ikechukwu Okonkwo, widely known as Cross, expressed his dismay after a beggar allegedly stole a chrome trim from his car's windshield in Ikate, Lekki, Lagos State. In a video uploaded to his X account, Cross recounted the incident, stating that a group of beggars approached his vehicle while he was driving.
He mentioned that one of the men engaged him in conversation at the window, and before he could refuse his request, the man allegedly tore off a part of the car and fled. Cross, who gained fame on BBNaija Season 6 in 2021, and returned for the All Stars edition in 2023, also addressed the broader issue of street safety in Nigeria.
He questioned the federal government's handling of the situation, urging them to address the presence of beggars on the streets, which he believes is compromising public safety. His post has sparked discussions on social media about the need for stronger measures against opportunistic crime in Lagos.
