Nigerian Gospel Singer Under Fire Over Alleged Assault Of Housewife
Mrs Abimbola Agbede, a Lagos-based housewife, has made accusations against a Nigerian gospel singer.
The woman demanded justice over an alleged physical assault by popular gospel singer Salau Aliu Olayiwola, aka Testimony Jaga and his gang of loyalists on January 17.
Mrs. Agbede, who resides in Akinrinmade close Suberu Oje in Agbado Local Council Development Area (LCDA) alleged Jaga not only assaulted her but also instructed over 20 loyalists to also gang-beat her.
Jaja, a musician with Christ Embassy Church, who runs a weekly fellowship in the area where he distributes empowerment items, however denied the charges, claiming it was the woman who slapped him. He said his fellowship members beat up the woman in his defence. He claimed Mrs Agbede held his shirt and also damaged his N3.5m gold chain in the ensuing melee.
On the fateful day, the housewife said his eldest child celebrated his birthday and she ordered items to give him and a few friends a treat. She said a friend was bringing the items in a car but could not access the close because the singer’s fellowship blocked vehicular movement.
‘’She asked me to follow her to the car to bring the items to the house and we got to the fellowship point where she approached Jaga. I didn’t even know what they discussed because I stayed aloof. The next thing he just came over to me and started pointing fingers at my forehead, screaming ‘’I am a landlord in this neighbourhood like you people. You have to learn how to respect me. I was so shocked and I pushed his hands away, asking if he was going to beat me up. Jaja immediately ordered his people to descend on me.
