Reacting to the report, Pasuma released a press statement a few hours ago, narrating his side of the story.
The statement reads thus:
“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.
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.
