Fear gripped residents of Ikire in Osun State on Sunday afternoon as armed men launched a daring daylight attack on the convoy of Fuji star, Alhaji Wasiu Alabi, popularly known as Pasuma.
The attack occurred in the Irewole axis of the town as Pasuma’s black Hummer SUV and a white Hilux pickup were ambushed by suspected thugs.
The vehicles were pelted with stones and reportedly came under gunfire, sending bystanders fleeing for safety.
A video from the scene, now viral on social media, captured the moment of chaos.
In the clip, a shaken voice cried out in Pidgin English, “Kasala don burst for Ikire. They don attack us. They carry gun shoot us but God dey.”
Pasuma was in town for a performance and is believed to have escaped unhurt.
However, details surrounding his visit and the motive behind the attack remain sketchy.
The incident forced shops to shut down temporarily while residents expressed deep worry over rising insecurity.
As of press time, efforts to reach the singer’s team proved abortive, and the Osun State Police Command had yet to release an official statement.
The brazen nature of the assault has triggered alarm across the region, highlighting concerns over safety during celebrity visits and public gatherings.
