The incident occurred during the Fuji musician’s performance at a burial ceremony
Famous Nigerian musician Obesere was reportedly attacked by a notorious thug, Michael Abbey, popularly known as “Emir” in Ondo State, where he performed on November 21, 2025.
The incident reportedly occurred during the Fuji musician’s performance at a burial ceremony held at the Government Field in Okitipupa.
Thugs allegedly stormed the venue without warning and unleashed violence on the singer and his crew, forcing guests to flee for safety.
Obesere’s manager, who attempted to shield him, was stabbed with a broken bottle.
In the chaos, the musician’s mobile phone, wristwatch, and gold chain were reportedly stolen, along with a bag containing N4 million cash.
Narrating the incident to journalists, a witness identified as Bosede Akinyemi said, “I attended the event on Friday. It was truly a disgraceful act. A gang of local thugs attacked Obesere and his band while they were performing on the stage.”
The Ondo State Police Command has arrested three suspects in connection with the recent violent attack on Fuji musician Obesere.
Reacting to the incident, the chairman of Okitipupa Local Government, Soga Andrew Ogunsakin, in a statement made available to DAILY POST and shared on his Facebook page, condemned the attack.
While assuring the public of his commitment to ensuring accountability, Ogunsakin announced the arrest of three suspects and the recovery of Obesere’s stolen items.
“Upon receiving the report on the unfortunate incident involving Obesere, I immediately swung into action to ensure accountability and restore calm. I’m pleased to inform the public that three suspects connected to the disturbance have been arrested, while efforts are ongoing to track down other individuals involved. Some items said to have been stolen have also been successfully recovered.
