***”I Wept Profusely”
Gospel singer, Yinka Ayefele, has detailed how he was beaten up by an operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
The tungba crooner had gone to perform at a party in a community in Iloro-Ekiti, Ijero-Ekiti Local Government Area of Ekiti State, when he was assaulted by an armed operative of the corps.
Explaining what happened, the musician said that he was leaving the venue of an event where he had performed when an NSCDC officer attempted to take money from his car. According to him, he quickly resisted the intruder who went violent punching him in the mouth, while also threatening to shoot him.
“He gave me a punch on my mouth, I had cut on my lips and blood started gushing out. When I called my security detail to hold him he stood at the front of my car corking his rifle and threatening to shoot me.
“At that point, his colleagues came and I explained what he did to them. Why trying to shield him, they said why am I fighting them, that I am a public figure, and don’t I want to give them something? I said if I didn’t want to give him something, I wouldn’t have stopped, or winded down my car. I have settled the area boys and others. I wept profusely because they did this to me because I am physically challenged.
“They later brought the guy who came to collect money for the area boys said to have been beaten while trying to take the money away, telling me to see how he was beaten and attacked him with sharp objects just to frame me up but I have put my lawyer in the know.”
