2face confirmed the incident.He disclosed that he was around a friend’s place in Ikeja,when the dare devil men of the underworld unleashed the dragon. “What I heard were sporadic shots from different angles.Suddenly, they hijacked me and my driver in the jeep. They said I should go to the back seat but later they allowed me to get out of the vehicle"
2face whose hit track African Queen brought him so much fame and fortune, disclosed that his driver was not so lucky. According to him, the driver was released around 3 A.M today (1 February 2008) in Agbara, a town close to the border of Nigeria and Republic of Benin.
Unlike past experiences, where he was shot and badly injured, the musician came out of the sordid occurrence unscratched.

I think its about time 2face lies low for awhile.This is getting too much kilode is he the only one in naija.Hes been 3x lucky hope it doesnt lead to the worst case scenario.
ReplyDeleteI agree he needs to travel out of the country and take a break......his life is really in danger......i mean what are the odds? This is too mad....He also needs to go to church and start praying harder than ever because of all the wahala in his life....
ReplyDeleteniyi i have a feeling this is no longer armed robbers. it must be all those women who are having kids for him orchestrating all d attacks to make him succumb and marry one of them. is he d only celebrity. abeg make d guy go check himself o jare. good work by d way niyi.
ReplyDeleteLOL@the conspiracy theories...nawa sha. Thnk God hes alive and well, and the driver too.

ReplyDeleteFirst and foremost, thank God no one was hurt in this incident.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, Iam impressed at the improvements you have made in such a short period of time.I want to encourage you to continue to do what you do. I am currently in the States, but I swear your blog could be just as good as some of the other online gossip rags.
So, keep up the good work, keep your posts succinct and hilarious.
And that post about the young boy slapping a bouncer with N50K? Priceless! I have sent it to as many people as I could. It was just hilarious. I am laughing and crying just remembering that gist.
eh yah God be with him o!
ReplyDeleteThis is getting a tad bit serious. He is now a celebrity, he should do as the celebrities do. Travel with an entorouge and have 20 body guards.
ReplyDeleteOkay let me stop being silly.
Sounds to me like this is all planned though. Haba. For one person????
Common nooowwww!
Oh and i love your style of reporting. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteare you sure that it's not Pero behind this? to retaliate for Sumbo and Annie...
ReplyDeletePlease people lets be realistic it nots anybodys handwork but his.2face himself is inresponsible so it could be any of all the skirts he sleeps with and dump n lets just say theres more to it than the eyes he need to change his ways and start trusting and chasing God not skirts.Just my own one pence
ReplyDeleteTubaba is my kind of my guy. Lol!!! Nah! Just joking. He just needs Jesus!
ReplyDeleteAnd everything will be just fine.....
Thanks, Niyi. Good reporting, though.
this dude has got to be really careful and prayerful. He also needs to lie low.
ReplyDeleteNiyi ds is confession time! I was 1 of yr biggest critics then but I've seen a +ve change. Good job n keep da flag flyin high. U've definitely improved yr writing style. Tell me d truth- got an editor didn't cha ;-)
ReplyDeleteas 4 Tu, he really needs to do a self check. Ds is not what it seems - ppl r out 2 get him!
The dude should exchange his 'kini' for long life and security. I heard they do that kain thing in his side na. He don born plenty offsprings already, so he shouldn't be worried about fathering children again.
ReplyDeletemake them leave this guy na. Wettin. I think he should just leave the country n settle elsewhere maybe Ghana or somethin
ReplyDeleteabeg make d fool go sidon... na only him? him no know say today sis dem different to d days of our mamas dem wey b say na ordinary eyeing dem go eye demsef wen dem det fite for man... toadys gurls will kill for "luv".... d way e takes on d girls sef dey annoying... how u go just dey use dem as if dem no get feelings... dem go soon kill am if e no change im ways... omooba don talk.. a word is enuf for d wyse
ReplyDeleteI'M SURE TUFACE HAS LITTLE EDUCATION, HE HAD BETTER PROTECT HIMSELF AGAINST HIV AND PROVIDE SECURITY FOR HIMSELF. AFTERALL HE HAS D MONEY. IF NOT HE CAN TRAVEL OUT OF D COUNTRY FOR A WHILE. IF NOT THESE BANDITS MAY EVENTUALLY KILL HIM ONE DAY.
ReplyDeleteI BLIV D GUY CALLED TUFACE HAS LITTLE EDUCATION AND ALSO DKNOWS D IMPORTANCE OF SECURITY, HE HAS BETTER PROVIDE ONE FOR HIMSELF B4 THESE BANDITS WASTE HIS LIFE. HE SHOULD ALSO BE CAREFUL OF THE PPLE AROUND HIM,THERE MAY JUST BE A TRAITOR AMONG THEM
ReplyDeleteMOST IMPORTANTLY HE SHOULD GUIDE AGAINST HIV AND STOP PUTTING HIS D INSIDE ANY AVAILABLE HOLE. HE CAN ENROL FOR SEX EDUCATION.

@ anon above (who posted d last 3 comments) you sure have a knot loose in your brain for realz
ReplyDeleteI heard from more than one source that this (like one other previous attack) wasn't a robbery attempt, rather he was caught with the wrong man's wife? Niyi whose wife, abegi if I'm hearing this gist over here, I know you know the full story.
ReplyDeleteI love 2baba 's music and personality too much. Abeg make una tell him to try change or be secretive of his destination at times to his driver and friends. No apologies.
ReplyDeletei live abroad though,but i believe the only person that can harm one is the only person that knows ones movements!!and is closest to one.I doubt if its any girl.How come tuface was attacked on his way from an award in london?at cele bus stop!!how come he was shot on his legs,jealousy perhaps?its obvious whoever wanted him shot just wanted to render him useless out of jealousy!!FAZEs brother was in that car night,who did they tell they had reached cele bus stop and recognises tufaces car,me?not likely.The only likely suspect is FAZE!!HE IS THE ONLY GUY THAT tries SO HARD to be like tuface,shoots videos in south africa and does not pay,name drops AKON,for no reason.FAZE used to be a cute looking,young looking guy,now looks too old for his age,more like a drug addict,(sorry)my opinion.Please warn tuface about my suspicions or else you wi
ReplyDeletell be readind his obituary here.Ho come FAZES brother prefers tuface to his own brother,am not accusing the brother at all,am only accusing FAZE cos he is VERY jealous of tufaces achievements!!!
?
i just do not know what to say about this, no b small thing ooooooo... Why will someone in his day life want his fellow brother dead because of his achievement. You see i really love,like,gbadun TUBABA, I am not a benue guy but the guy is good and i will love to be like him, his songs gives me inspiration. it makes me cool wheneva am Hot. A lot of things to talk when i see Tubaba myself.
ReplyDeleteONE LOVE BROTHER
