Pasuma wrote: “About what happened in Ikire, I have so many committed fans in Ikire, but there’s no town without such elements (thugs).

“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 TV screen was provided outside the hall, but they refused to watch on the screen.

“And when the security prevented them from entering, the bad boys among them started stoning. It was the stone that broke the windscreen of my Hilux and Hummer bus. There was no shooting.”
