FUJI STAR, SEFIU ALAO RETURNS TO STAGE 4 DAYS AFTER ESCAPING GUNSHOT AT A SHOW

It was a triumphant return to the stage for Abeokuta, Ogun State based Fuji music star, Alhaji Sefiu Alao Adekunle, on Wednesday, 14th December, 2016, just 4 days after escaping a gunshot at a show in Sagamu, where he was engaged to entertain guests in celebration of a new chieftaincy title bagged by one of the top celebrities in the town.

The unsavoury incident which happened on Saturday, 10th December, saw a drunken SARS officer first started shooting needlessly into the air and by the time he decided to bring down his rifle, he had "forgotten" he had set it on automatic discharge and the gun started shooting straight into Sefiu Alao's stage where socialites were already spraying money on the artiste.

According to an eye-witness, one of the discharging bullets most of which miraclelously lodged into some of the speakers on the stage strayed towards the direction of Sefiu Alao and went through his armpit to hit a female socialite spraying money on the artiste from behind and killed the poor woman on the spot. Sefiu Alao had to be shielded off the stage by his security aides immediately.

Meanwhile, the incident raised a lot of scare in the Fuji music industry when the news filtered into town that Sefiu Alao who is believed to be very strong in the aspect traditionally fortifying himself against such evils had been shot and no one knew his status whether dead or alive. But the tension was doused by quick Facebook posts by some his aides who kept writing that "Sefiu Alao dey kampe", an allusion to the title of one of his old albums entitled: " I Dey Kampe."

And to further demonstrate the fact that Sefiu Alao was not really hurt in the deadly incident, save for some bruises in his armpit, he was live and direct on stage for one of his fans, Ifakorede's Odun Ifa Celebration at an area called Grammar School in Abeokuta, just 4 days after.

And according to a statement credited to Sefiu Alao after the gunshot escape, he reportedly said he had just been tested by those who thought he had let down his guard, but apparently, he had passed the exam excellently. And that such should not be tried by them again because there would be consequences next time.
