Popular Nigerian musician and Woju crooner, Daniel Anidugbe, aka Kiss
Daniel, on Monday escaped death while performing at the Calabar
Christmas Village. It was gathered that some robbers had stormed the
village at about 1am and shot repeatedly into the air while
dispossessing fun seekers of their belongings. Several persons sustained
various degrees of injuries from gun shots.
The Calabar Christmas
Village, which is located at Calabar Municipal Council Secretariat,
opens for 24 hours from December 1 to December 31 every year as a
central location of revelry.
According to reports, while Kiss was on stage, the bandits came and carted away some of his belongings.
Speaking with Punch, an injured shop owner in the village, Glory
Andem, said the presence of robbers became obvious when some spectators
started throwing bottles at the musician.
She said, “It was a serious situation and I got injured. What
happened was that some guys came into the village and tried to rob Kiss
Daniel when he was singing, ‘Oya talk to me o mama.’
“They were throwing bottles and other things at him. Before we knew
it, they brought out guns and started shooting. Some security men
immediately rushed to the singer. But even with the security, the
robbers rushed at him and removed his clothes and collected things from
him.
“They would have killed that guy. To be honest, I don’t know how he
managed to escape. You know there are several thousands of people in the
Christmas village usually and the situation led to a serious
pandemonium.
“They broke up everything in my shop. They took all my money. They
robbed a lot of shops. Our chairs were broken. Everybody was running at
the same time. It was a terrible experience.
“Several cars were vandalised. They broke the cars to steal from
them. At a point, the lights went off and I thought I was going to die.
As I speak with you, I have a serious cut from the incident and I want
to go to a hospital to take a tetanus injections.”
Meanwhile, the state Commissioner of Police, Jimoh Ozi-Obeh, said it
was not a robbery attack, but a misunderstanding between the organisers.
“There was no robbery incident in Calabar and nobody was attacked by robbers in any other part of Cross River State.
“What happened was that the government had initially planned to host
the musician at the stadium, but the plan was changed to the Calabar
Christmas Village. They probably had misunderstanding with the
organisers”, he said
