The Koko master, who showed up for his video shoot on Saturday, at Tin Can Port, Apapa Lagos, in a Toyota RAV 4 with registration number KJA6158BE was overpowered by some area boys who claimed to be guarding the territory.
The Sun Newspaper, reports that as soon as the area boys laid their eyes on the music star, they demanded he settles them but before he could speak, they already deflated his tyres.
The day can be described as an unfortunate day for D’Banj, as he was escorted to the ATM with the area boys and withdrew and an undisclosed amount of money to settle them.
After parting away with a huge sum of money, D’Banj was still held hostage by the area boys who ripped him off his jewelry, shoes, wristwatch and much more.
However, it took the grace of God and the policemen before the music star could be rescued.
An eye witness recounts that “I’m so excited, D’banj came to Tin Can Island to shoot a video and guys saw him. They burst his tires and held him hostage. He had to embrace every one of them and later he took them to an ATM where he withdrew some cash for them and shared among them. I love D’banj; it’s good to be a star”.
It could be recalled that, Bono was in Nigeria a couple of weeks ago to create an awareness for the One campaign sponsored ‘Strong Girl Remix’ which features top stars like D’Banj, Banky W, Waje, Omotola Jolade, Femi Kuti, Diamond Platnumz and others. A song specially composed to bring awareness of the plight of the female child, fight for their rights and eradicate poverty.
