involved in a hit and run went viral on the internet. According to the
reports, Pasuma was said to leaving a show that took place on the
24th of October 2013 at the Idimu area of Lagos state, when he
accidentally ran over a 12-year-old boy. The boy was said to have been
rushed immediately to the hospital but eventually gave up the ghost.
Pasuma has finally come out to say he doesn't know anything about
the death of the boy. Below is the released press statement:
"On October 24th I had a show somewhere around idimu and as usual
there were quite a lot of people there. After my performance I made
for my car after settling the area boys with a large sum of money.
Definitely, I had to zoom off because I didn't want them to mob me. I
left the venue and drove straight to my house. Later that night, I
heard someone was killed at the show. I was surprised because people
don't fight at my shows. It was later explained to me that the young
man was killed by policemen. I tried to get details of the incident
and that was when I gathered that one of the boys hung on to my car
before I drove off.
He was said to have fallen off and started running after my car for
reasons I don't know. I didn't even notice anyone was running after my
car. Simultaneously, the policemen were driving fast behind me to get
more money from me and in the process the boy was knocked down by
their vehicle. When the policemen caught up with me, I gave them Money
and they turned back. As at that time I was not even aware something
had happened and I drove off. Later that night, I was informed that a
boy was killed by the policemen and my manager Afolabi Oyekoya has
been trying to get in touch with the deceased family. If those that
reported the incident, did actually visit the police station or
hospital the boy was taken to, they would have found out the truth.
The question is ,Did my car hit the boy? Did my car have any contact
with the boy ? Was I even aware of anything ?
The policemen were said to have taken the boy to the hospital or their
station and had communicated with the family. It was reported that the
policemen were part of my convoy but the truth is they were never part
of my convoy. I didn't go to the show with any security except my
bodyguards. I feel comfortable around area boys or whatsoever you
choose to call them, I have no reason to move around with policemen. I
didn't hit anyone with my car, neither did any of my convoy . Where is
the story coming from. I didn't want to make any press statement but
have been forced to because it is obvious some bloggers are trying to
make a mess of my name. Do we now live in a country where people
believe they can just write something about you and get away with it.
Hmmm !
If I was truly involved in a murder case I would have been invited to
the police station for questioning . Have I been asked to write a
report at the police station? Have I been arrested ? We are talking
about someone's life here? My management AO21 Media have been making
efforts to reach the family of the deceased not because we were
involved in his death but because he was a fan of Pasuma wonder.
