Renowned rapper, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz has recounted how armed robbers attacked him and his friends on their way for a show performance.
Falz revealed this during an interview with “Untapped,” where he stated that the incident happened on November 16, 2013, on an Abuja highway, which resulted in the death of their driver.
The rapper recalled the incident and said that he and his friends started saying their final prayers because they thought they were going to die too.
He said they were supposed to go by plane but they didn’t purchase their tickets on time hence they traveled by road.
Falz and his band men had taken a nap while journeying down till they regained consciousness, and they saw a hoodlum demanding money from them.
He said he told the hoodlum that they had no money and after many threats, he and the gunmen shooting at the road ran away after hearing police sirens.
The multi-faceted entertainer said the police eventually came to their rescue after many private cars refused to help them to the hospital.
Describing the situation, Falz said: “We see this turban tying AK47 welding, dangerous-looking men in the middle of the expressway maybe like 5, we could not count; they were directly shooting at our car everything was happening within seconds, so fast from the first bullet coming to us waking up, the second bullet coming to us taking cover, to the third one that hit the driver in the eye.”
