A couple of weeks ago, a Jamaican artiste contacted popular Ajegunle musician, Baba Fryo with a request to feature him in a remix of his hit song, Denge Pose, which ruled the airwaves in the late 1990s to early 2000s.
For the musician, it was a good piece of news. Obviously determined to make the most of the opportunity, he did not waste time, as he hit the studios immediately and started recording.
But on that fateful day, precisely Sunday May 19, little did Baba Fryo know that he was a moment away from receiving the beatings of his life.
In this chat, the Denge Pose singer shared his experience, narrating the blow-by-blow account of how he was assaulted and almost kidnapped by fake soldiers.
Hear him: “Sunday, May 19 was a very happy day for me. When I woke up that morning, I had no idea what lay ahead of me. It all started the previous evening, around 5pm. My producer and me were returning from the studio after a recording. A Jamaican artiste had contacted me, saying he wanted us to work together. He wanted us to do a remix of my biggest hit, Denge Pose, which was produced by Nelson Brown back in the day. All had gone well and we were on our way back home when hell burst loose at Alaba Rago bus stop, along Lagos/Badagary Expressway, Lagos.”
According to Baba Fryo, there was a gridlock and he was stuck. Eventually, he had to make way for a bus driving one-way because of the terrible state of the road. But as soon as he reversed his car, he got the shock of his life when a soldier smashed his side mirror into pieces!
He continued: “The first thing I heard was a loud bang, as one of the soldiers smashed my side mirror. I was in shock and right there at the wheel, he started raining blows on me; and before I knew it, another soldier joined him and they said I should come down from my car. They dragged me out of the car and started hitting me. I screamed that this was an assault, because I hadn’t done anything wrong, but they wouldn’t listen.
