Yinka Ayefele, who was attacked by hoodlums in Akure, Ondo state on Saturday, has been hospitalised as a result of the injuries he sustained from the attack.
Ayefele had gone to honour the invitation of the Ekiti State government to perform at the World Teachers Day.
According to his publicist, David Ajiboye, the singer was hit with a wooden plank on his chest during the attack.
A statement was released to this effect on Monday, October 5.
“Yinka Ayefele, MON was attacked by hoodlums on the outskirt of Akure on Saturday 3rd October, 2015 during the burial party of Madam Ebunoluwa Lydia Odumakinde where he was contracted to perform with his band members.”
“The hoodlums, after collecting N200, 000 from the artiste as “settlement” later demanded for a sum of N500,000 which did not go down well with Ayefele and in the process of the argument, he was hit on the chest by a plank which was thrown at him.”
“The hoodlums vandalised the newly acquired musical equipment and the truck while his new Ford Explorer 2015 model SUV was also vandalised, as well. The band boys escaped unhurt contrary to reports in the media that they were beating.”
