Legendary Fuji musician, Alhaji Wasiu Alabi Pasuma, has broken his silence following a disturbing incident in Osun State where his convoy was reportedly attacked during a visit to perform in Ikire, a town in the Irewole local government area.
The incident, which occurred last Sunday, sent shockwaves across social media after a viral video surfaced showing visible damage to the vehicles in the singer’s convoy. In the background of the clip, a distressed voice could be heard saying: “We have been attacked in Ikire. They carry guns and shoot us, see Pasuma’s car. But God dey.”
The footage sparked concern among fans and prompted widespread speculation about the severity of the attack.
However, in a bid to set the record straight, Pasuma addressed the incident during a recent live performance. Speaking directly to his fans, the Fuji star offered a detailed account of what transpired.
“About what happened in Ikire, I have so many committed fans in Ikire, but there’s no town without such elements (thugs).”
He explained that the turnout for the event was overwhelming, far exceeding expectations.
“The person who invited me to perform at a hall in Ikire, but the crowd was more than half of the whole town. They all came out to see me physically. Because of the large numbers of the crowd, a screen TV was provided outside the hall but they refused to watch on the screen.”
According to him, tensions escalated when security personnel attempted to control the crowd and restrict entry into the venue.
“And when the security prevented them from entering, the bad boys among them started stoning. It was the stone that broke my car’s windscreen of my hilux and hummer bus. There was no shooting,” he clarified.
Pasuma’s statement has helped calm nerves and correct the misinformation spreading online, reassuring fans that while the situation was tense, it was not as violent as initially feared.
