It has been said that, fuji musician,Pasuma Wonder while leaving a show onthe 24th of October, 2013 in Idimu areaof Lagos State, hit a 12-year old boy withhis vehicle, before another vehicle ran
over the little boy. The boy wasimmediately rushed to the hospital, butunfortunately, the boy didn’t survive.Pasuma is saying he has nothing to dowith the death of the boy, like a lot ofnews publications havesaid. Here is a
press statement from him below.
“On October 24th I had a show
somewhere around idimu and as usual
there were quite a lot of people there.
After my performance I made for my car
after settling the area boys with a large
sum of money. Definitely, I had to zoom
off because I didn’t want them to mob
me. I left the venue and drove straight to
my house. Later that night, I heard
someone was killed at the show. I was
surprised because people don’t fight at
my shows. It was later explained to me
that the young man was killed by
policemen. I tried to get details of the
incident and that was when I gathered
that one of the boys hung on to my car
before I drove off.
He was said to have fallen off and started
running after my car for reasons I don’t
know. I didn’t even notice anyone was
running after my car. Simultaneously, the
policemen were driving fast behind me to
get more money from me and in the
process the boy was knocked down by
their vehicle. When the policemen caught
up with me, I gave them Money and they
turned back. As at that time I was not
even aware something had happened and
I drove off. Later that night, I was
informed that a boy was killed by the
policemen and my manager Afolabi
Oyekoya has been trying to get in touch
with the deceased family. If those that
reported the incident, did actually visit
the police station or hospital the boy was
taken to, they would have found out the
truth. The question is ,Did my car hit the
boy? Did my car have any contact with
the boy ? Was I even aware of anything ?
The policemen were said to have taken
the boy to the hospital or their station
and had communicated with the family. It
was reported that the policemen were
part of my convoy but the truth is they
were never part of my convoy. I didn’t go
to the show with any security except my
bodyguards. I feel comfortable around
area boys or whatsoever you choose to
call them, I have no reason to move
around with policemen. I didn’t hit
anyone with my car, neither did any of
my convoy . Where is the story coming
from. I didn’t want to make any press
statement but have been forced to
because it is obvious some bloggers are
trying to make a mess of my name. Do we
now live in a country where people
believe they can just write something
about you and get away with it. Hmmm !
If I was truly involved in a murder case I
would have been invited to the police
station for questioning . Have I been
asked to write a report at the police
station? Have I been arrested ? We are
talking about someone’s life here? My
management AO21 Media have been
making efforts to reach the family of the
deceased not because we were involved in
his death but because he was a fan of
Pasuma wonder.
