three hours before dumping him into a bush near Ota, Ogun State, and made away
with the vehicle.

on the telephone, said the incident occurred at about 9pm.
The source Pasuma was not identified
by the robbers because he hid his face.
He said, “On Monday night, Pasuma was
on his way to perform at a party but on getting to Ahmadiyya, he was attacked
and the culprits took all his money and his mobile phones. His friend, who was
in the car with him, was robbed as well.

drove Pasuma around for about three hours. While he was in their custody,

it was about 12 midnight, they dumped him and his friend in a bush at Itele
area of Ogun State.”
