The statement reads in part,

“After Alhaji Abass Akande Obesere (Papa) concluded his performance and while we were preparing to leave the venue, large groups of touts surrounded the area.

One group converged on my location because I was carrying the bag of money.

Despite our efforts to leave peacefully, my principal and I were aggressively confronted.

The assailants demanded that I hand over the bag; when I refused, a violent struggle ensued.

During the attack I was beaten and my shoulder was dislocated as a result of the struggle. I was also struck with a knife while attempting to get into the car; I cannot confirm a stabbing wound but I sustained several blows and am in significant pain.

The attackers overpowered me and made away with the bag of money.

At the same time, another group continued to manhandle Alhaji Abass Akande Obesere even after he attempted to placate them by giving money.

I later guided Alhaji into our vehicle and we left the scene to seek safety and medical attention.

We condemn this criminal and violent behaviour in the strongest terms. Such attacks on performers, their teams, and mourners at a burial ceremony are unacceptable.
