Gospel Singer Mercy Masika has disclosed how a car belonging to comedian Jalang’o saved her from the Dusit Attack.
In a post seen by Puslive.co.ke, Jalang’o shared his chats with the gospel singer before the attack happened.
Apparently, Masika was supposed to be at the Dusit Complex for a Salon appointment by 3:30pm but upon walking to the parking lot in the CBD to drive out to Dusit, she got her car blocked by Jalango’s Range Rover.
“Your car blocked us yesterday while I was going to my salon at Dusit for my 3:30pm appointment. God used your car to delay us. We thank God,” reads Mercy Masika’s message to Jalang’o.
At that time, the Milele FM Presenter was in a meeting for an upcoming consumer promotion. The process of getting Jalang’o to move his car and allow Mercy to drive out delayed for almost 20 minutes.
Upon leaving the CBD, news about Dusit attack emerged making her to cancel the Salon Appointment.
