Niniola, Singer was robbed in South Africa, but she is doing fine

Niniola, who is presently in South Africa, was robbed by some armed bandits while having lunch with friends.

Niniola has gotten a not so fair treatment while in South Africa as she lost her phone to armed robbers in South Africa.

In a chat with Pulse, her manager Micheal Ndika, discredits reports that the singer was robbed of  R300000  (1,587,642 naira).

"She was not robbed of her phone while having dinner with her friends. We are surprised that blogs are carrying the gist that she lost over R300000  in cash. Who goes around with so much cash?" he told Pulse Nigeria.

According to him, the singer was having lunch with her friends in a restaurant when the robbers approached them and took her phone.

"The robbers came into the restaurant and recognised Niniola and started harassing her friends. She gave up her phone so they could leave them alone. You guys are the only ones that have called to confirm the story," he added.
