Famous Nigerian musician Obesere was reportedly attacked by a notorious thug, Michael Abbey, popularly known as “Emir” in Ondo State, where he performed on Friday.
The incident reportedly occurred during the Fuji musician’s performance at a burial ceremony held at the Government Field in Okitipupa.
Thugs allegedly stormed the venue without warning and unleashed violence on the singer and his crew, forcing guests to flee for safety.
Obesere’s manager, who attempted to shield him, was stabbed with a broken bottle.
In the chaos, the musician’s mobile phone, wristwatch, and gold chain were reportedly stolen, along with a bag containing N4 million cash.
Narrating the incident to journalists, a witness identified as Bosede Akinyemi said, “I attended the event on Friday. It was truly a disgraceful act. A gang of local thugs attacked Obesere and his band while they were performing on the stage.”
