He claimed that on June 25, 2023, men who claimed to be from Oba Elegushi attacked him while he was filming a video.

The ‘Peace’ crooner said that even after he narrowly escaped on the said date, the hoodlums were still threatening to kill him.

In the process, they became violent and assaulted me. I sustained injuries but narrowly escaped.
