Following reports of an attack on his convoy by suspected thugs in Ikire, Osun State, legendary Fuji icon Pasuma, whose real name is Wasiu Alabi, has broken his silence.
A video of damaged vehicles in Pasuma’s convoy sparked widespread concern online after it went viral, showing the aftermath of an attack that occurred during the singer’s visit to Ikire last Sunday. A voice in the background can be heard saying, “We have been attacked in Ikire. They carry guns and shoot us, see Pasuma’s car. But God dey.”
Pasuma addressed the incident during a live performance, clarifying what really happened and dispelling rumours of gunfire.
“About what happened in Ikire, I have so many committed fans in the town, but there’s no place without a few bad eggs,” the singer said.
Pasuma stated that he was invited to perform at an event in Ikire, but the crowd’s turnout was unexpectedly large, almost surpassing the town’s population.
“To accommodate the crowd, a large screen was placed outside the hall. But many of them refused to stay outside. When security tried to control the situation, the troublemakers among the crowd started throwing stones,” he explained.
The veteran musician stated that stones thrown by the agitated crowd damaged the windshields of his Hilux and Hummer bus, but clarified that no gunshots were fired.
“There was no shooting. Just some stones breaking the windscreen,” Pasuma assured fans.
He thanked his loyal followers and asked them to remain calm and respectful during public gatherings.
