A nine-man gang attacked music artiste, Wasiu Alabi, aka Pasuma, in Ahmadiyya end of Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway on Monday night.
The robbers snatched Pasuma’s Range Rover Sports Utility Vehicle with number plate Lagos, MUS 830AP, and dispossessed him of other valuables.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the singer, in company with a friend, was on his way to a show when he was attacked by the culprits.
It was learnt that some of the culprits forced their way into
Pasuma’s vehicle and drove him around for over three hours before
dumping him into a bush near Ota, Ogun State, and made away with the
vehicle.
An associate of the singer, who spoke with our correspondent on the telephone, said the incident occurred at about 9pm.
The source Pasuma was not identified by the robbers because he hid his face.
He said, “On Monday night, Pasuma was on his way to perform at a party but on getting to Ahmadiyya, he was attacked and the culprits took all his money and his mobile phones. His friend, who was in the car with him, was robbed as well.
“The robbers then took control and drove Pasuma around for about three hours. While he was in their custody, Pasuma hid his face from them so the robbers did not know he was the one. When it was about 12 midnight, they dumped him and his friend in a bush at Itele area of Ogun State.”
Our correspondent learnt that some sympathisers were able to help the victims to get transportation back home
The matter was said to have been reported at the Lagos State Police Command headquarters while efforts were being made to recover the vehicle.
When contacted on the telephone, the Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said the police had commenced investigations into the robbery.
She said, “The Deputy Commissioner of Police, Tunde Sobulo, was informed and he sent signal to the control room. Efforts are on to recover the vehicle and apprehend the robbers.”

It has been Proof that sometimes even the deepest of relationships
can die a slow death: Things are not going well between Miley Cyrus and
Liam Hemsworth. Though they're still technically together despite incessant rumors of a split, sources tell Life & Style that won't be true for long, Australia's News Network
reports. The only reason Hemsworth hasn't actually walked away? "They
broke up before and Miley went insane," a source says. "He felt so
guilty, he went back to her and now he's concerned about what will
happen if he leaves again."
But don't worry, those three weddings
are not happening, because eventually Liam will do the deed. "He wants
to make sure Miley's in a good place before they announce a split," the
source says. "He doesn't want her to go nuts and do anything stupid." Star recently claimed Hemsworth had been spotted "canoodling" with his Hunger Games co-star Jennifer Lawrence, but Gossip Cop pooh-poohs that idea. In an even more amusing recent story, Page Six had Hemsworth "swarmed" by ladies at Cannes.
