Fuji music fans were left stunned after veteran singer Abass Akande Obesere reportedly faced an attack in Ondo State. The legendary artiste, known for his energetic performances and long-lasting influence on Nigerian music, was said to have been assaulted by men believed to be political thugs while returning from a show. The news quickly sparked concern across social media.
Reports stated that Obesere had been invited to perform at an event, but his trip back home took a disturbing turn. He shared that a group suddenly blocked his path and confronted him, making what should have been a normal journey feel dangerous and chaotic. “Immediately after the show, on my way back, these boys just appeared from nowhere. They hit me and dealt with me,” he said.
He also revealed that the attackers were allegedly sent by people who were unhappy that he performed at a different politician’s gathering. He explained that he was simply doing his job as an entertainer who honours invitations. “They said I wasn’t supposed to perform at the event I went to. They said I should have come to their own,” Obesere added.
The fuji star expressed deep disappointment about the incident. He stressed that musicians should never be forced into political issues or punished for performing at events. He reminded the public that artists work to spread love, not conflict. “I’m an artiste. I just do my job. I don’t do fight,” he said.
Despite the frightening experience, Obesere confirmed that he is recovering. He also thanked fans who have reached out with kind words and prayers. Many admirers have praised his calm reaction and strength, noting once again why he is respected in the fuji music world. The incident may have been unsettling, but Obesere’s resilience continues to inspire fans everywhere.
