Tensions rose in Ikire on Sunday, a town in Osun State’s Irewole local government area, following an attack on a convoy carrying famous Fuji artist Alhaji Wasiu Alabi Pasuma.
The incident took place in the afternoon and featured suspected hoodlums who reportedly stoned and fired at the convoy’s cars, including a black Hummer Jeep and a white Hilux truck.
According to eyewitnesses at the site, the automobiles incurred visible damage.
However, it remains unclear whether any member of Pasuma’s team was injured during the incident.
A video that has since gone viral on social media shows a chaotic scene, with people screaming in the background and one voice lamenting in Pidgin English, “Kasala don burst for Ikire. They don attack us. They carry gun shoot us but God dey.”
As of the time of reporting this article, journalists had been unable to contact the Fuji musician or his management team for comment.
Pasuma was apparently in the state for a concert, although the actual nature of his visit has not been verified.
As of the time of this report, the Osun State Police Command had not issued an official comment on the incident or whether any arrests had been made.
