Kiss Daniel Attacked On Stage
Surely it wasn’t a good one for the Nigerian singer, Kiss Daniel who was attacked in the early hours of Monday by suspected armed robbers who stormed the Calabar Christmas village while he was performing.
The robbers stormed the village at about 1 am and repeatedly shot into the air while dispossessing people of their valuables. It was learnt that some people who sustained gun injuries had been hospitalized.
It was not clear if Kiss Daniel was injured,but an eyewitness said the robbers rushed to the stage while the pandemonium was on and succeeded in removing some items from the musician before he was whisked away by security operatives.
EYEWITNESS’ ACCOUNT
She said- “It was a serious situation and i got injured. what happened was that some guys came into the village and tried to rob Kiss Daniel when he was singing. They were throwing bottles and other things at him. Before we knew it, they brought out guns and started shooting. Some security men immediately rushed to the singer. But even with the security, the robbers rushed at him, removed his clothes and collected things from him. They would have killed that guy. To be honest, I don’t know how he managed to escape.”
STATE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE’S ACCOUNT:
Mr. Jimoh Ozi-Obeh, state commissioner of police said that it was not a robbery attack but a misunderstanding between the organizers.
“There was no robbery in Calabar and nobody was attacked by robbers in any part of cross river state. what happened was that the government had initially planned to host the musician at the stadium but the plan was changed to the Calabar Christmas Village. They probably had a misunderstanding with the organizers. it was the change of venue that was not probably organized.
