Glo Ambassador, OMAWUMI goes wild on journalist

Hyped singer and Glo Ambassador, Omawumi is in the news again and this time for the wrong reasons. Two weeks ago at a music award ceremony held in Ikeja area of Lagos, the singer went berserk and she threw all decorum into gutter to engage a photo journalist in a physical assault reminiscent of a militant. The drama that lasted few minutes left the journalist battered in the face and his camera smashed beyond repairs.

After weeks of the incident, it is still an irony that respected celebrities especially Omowumi will get away doing the negative unexpected of a brand ambassador with impunity. It looks like our so-called stars will come out seemingly unscathed even when they must have spent some time behind bars, still having their careers intact or even attracting more brands’ endorsements.
The matter of Omowumi’s weird attitude was visited on Adekola Bamigbala, a recognized photojournalist. When Bamgbala had positioned to take shots of Omawumi, little did he know that danger was lurking for him, as he was bruised, with a swollen face; all thanks to popular female singer and Bottom Belle crooner, Omawumi Megbele.
Omawumi, a GLO Ambassador, was also a guest of the organizers and she was already seated with celebrity singers of her status when Bamigbala noticed her. Obeying the professional instinct not to miss taken shots of the prized singer, he moved closer to her table and positioned his camera for the task. But before the first click aimed at Omawumi could resonate, the photo guy, who had been lost in the euphoria, begun absorbing strange flashes himself. Omawumi had pounced on him, snatched his big camera and with it, dealing him heavy strikes in the face in quick succession!
Other guests who were close to the spot, like Wasiu Alabi Pasuma were said to have been amazed by Omawumi’s action. The victim is also in shock, still desperate to know why the lady behaved in that manner without a bit of provocation.
Speaking with News of the people, Bamgbala explained that a formal letter has been lodged with Nigeria Union of Journalist for further action and possible legal redress, saying he is still nursing the wounds inflicted on his eyes.

It was however gathered that Omawumi’s manager, Sunday Are once suspected to be her bed warmer had since been engaging dirty politics to wash the singer of her dirty behaviour. All effort to speak with Are was unsuccessful as his mobile phone was switched off.
For the record, Omawumi was recently embroiled in paternity scandal. Therefore, the media obviously have become her number-one enemy as journalists feasted well on her rather bizarre choice not to disclose who the father of her first baby is.

Didn't you read this part below;

Omawumi had
pounced on him, snatched his big
camera and with it, dealing him heavy
strikes in the face in quick succession!
Re: The Picture Of The Photojournalist That Was Assaulted By Omawunmi by 3ace(m): 11:16am On Aug 05, 2013
This must be the reason for her anger though uncalled for.
For the record, Omawumi was
recently embroiled in paternity
scandal. Therefore, the media
obviously have become her number-
one enemy as journalists feasted well
on her rather bizarre choice not to
disclose who the father of her first
baby is.
