Aftermath of attacks by hoodlums in Akure, the Ondo State capital, on Saturday, popular gospel musician, Yinka Ayefele, has been hospitalised following impact of the injuries he sustained in the attack.
The musician was, on Monday afternoon, rushed to an undisclosed hospital in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, where he had gone to honour the invitation of the Ekiti State government to perform at the World Teachers Day organised by the state government.
Reports said the artiste was hit with a plank on his chest during the attack on him on Saturday in Akure, Ondo State.
According to a statement by his office, “Yinka Ayefele was attacked by hoodlums on the outskirts of Akure on Saturday, 3rd October, 2015 during a burial party where he was contracted to perform with his band members.
“The hoodlums, after collecting N200,000 from the artiste as 'settlement.' later demanded for another N500,000 which did not go down well with Ayefele and in the process of the argument, he was hit on the chest by a plank which was thrown at him.”
The statement added that Ayefele’s Ford Explorer was vandalised and his recently acquired musical equipment was not spared.
This ignoble act should be discouraged and checked.
