P-Square Robbed @ Gunpoint
Paul Okoye, a member of Nigerian music duo P-Square, according to reports, was attacked by armed robbers on Wednesday evening.
The musician, according to Nigeriafilms.com, was on his way to meet a couple of friends at the Victoria Island when he was attacked.
Sources said Paul, who was driving his new BMW X6, stopped to assist accident victims on the way and as he returned to his car after the rescue, he was approached by two armed men who demanded all his valuables.
Paul narrated that 'I was about leaving when these two guys surfaced from nowhere and demanded everything I had on me at gun point.'
He added, 'They actually succeeded in taking my phones, money, jewellery and other valuables, but just as they were about collecting my car key, one woman who had noticed what was happening screamed and alerted people at the accident scene. And that was when the gunmen ran away.'
The gunmen, according to Paul, 'said they were not going to beat or shoot me, but warned that I must cooperate with them. It was so funny because they said what they wanted was their own share from P Square's 'largesse'.'
The star however was very grateful that nothing untoward happened to him. 'I just thank God that they didn't hurt me,' he told
