ABUJA PROLIFIC MUSIC PRODUCER BEATEN TO A PULP... STILL IN A COMMA

      Music is the oil that keeps the engine of life running smoothly. Producers make the music musicians sing and most times get the least credit for their efforts. One of such prolific music producer and artist who has featured in major events in the city of Abuja is Moses Obalaiye aka Mo’Bizzy and proudly one of Abuja's finest, I might add.
Mo'Bizzy on the beat
      Just last night, tragedy struck, as  Mo’Bizzy was given the beating of his life around 9:30pm by Oka riders and some hoodlums.
Mobizzy was on his way back home and had a flat tire with the car he was driven in so he decided to board an okada home around Logoma area of Abuja, he boarded a okada from the estate junction they agreed at N200 to take him to his place on their way the okada rider stopped half way and said that he won’t go any further and demanded that Moses should pay him additional N200, according to source -Moses had been in the studio working all day and he was very tired after the days activities. He pleaded with the okada rider that if he has to walk home from were he stoped him which was almost 3km from his palce he will not pay him N200 as they had already agreed, at that point the okada man raised a false alarm Barawo!”Barawo!!Brawo!!! meaning thief thief thief in hausa language, the other okada riders passing by stopped and descended on Moses and they beat him to Coma and almost burnt him alive.

Good Samaritans passing by tried to intervene but were almost beaten up by the same okada men, after the incident the okada riders told the Police that The musician wanted to rub him of his okada, after he has been beaten almost to the point of death the police finally rescued him and took him to the police station in stead of the hospital, According to source he has been taken to the hospital for proper treatment but he is still in a coma.

OKADA RIDER ELECTROCUTED IN LAGOS.

A man suspected to be an okada (motorcycle) rider was on Saturday evening electrocuted to death in Ejigbo, Lagos State.
The deceased,  Oche Samuel, was said to have met his death at the shop of a motorcycle mechanic in the area.
The deceased had taken his bike for repairs before the sad incident.
An eyewitness, who identified himself only as Kayode, said as Samuel entered into the shop, a Power Holding Company of Nigeria high tension cable sparked and fell on Ailegun Road, off Ronik College.
Kayode said when the incident happened, tension was heightened in the area, resulting in residents running helter-skelter.
He said in the ensuing confusion, Samuel marched on some of the fallen cables and he was electrocuted.
The eyewitness said fear of being electrocuted prevented sympathisers from giving Samuel first aid.
He said by the time an official of the PHCN arrived the scene for on-the-spot assessment, Samuel had died.
Kayode said it was through the deceased’s mobile phone they were able to get his brother.
He said when the deceased’s brother came, he took the corpse to the mortuary.
