Narrating his ordeal on his Instagram page, he wrote

I want to use this opportunity to say a very big thank you to God for the gift of life today,

Yesterday I had a close shave with death.

I was billed to hold a performance in Benin City, the airlines had to cancel the flight due to bad weather. My team and I decided to move by road In order to catch up with the show based on the respect I have for my fans,

On my way around shagamu, robbers attacked us and this was very destabilizing.

My personal effects were forcefully taken from me while some of my team members and I ran into the bush, I can still remember the robbers shouting “shoot anyone you see” they left with my hype man (whose wife Just gave birth to twins) who pleaded for his life, he was forced to use POS machines to make transfers to the deadly squad.
