Hip hop music star, Innocent Idibia popularly known as Tuface, is currently on danger list at Cedar Group Hospital, 202 Road, B Close, Festac Town, Lagos, following an attack on him by unidentified gunmen last night. P.M.News learnt that the award winning artiste was attacked at about 8.30pm at Cele bus stop, along the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway on his way home from the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja. He had just arrived the country from London.

Sources said the shots fired by the gunmen hit Tuface on his thigh and he was rushed to the hospital where doctors immediately wheeled him into the theatre to save his life.

As at the time of going to press, doctors had removed about 22 pellets from his thigh and he is currently battling for life at the hospital.

Ifeanyi Orji a.k.a. Odogwu the elder brother of Faze, a member of the re-united Plantashun Boyz musical group who drove the red Honda Accord (Bullet) car also had his left hand bruised after the encounter with the gunmen believed to be robbers.

A member of the Plantashun Boyz, Augustine Ahmedu a.k.a. Black Faze blamed the attack on the state of insecurity in the country.

“The government should be blamed for this because there was no light in the area where Tuface was attacked,” he said.

When P.M.News called at the hospital this morning, our reporter was prevented from seeing him as he was said to be under observation by the doctors.

Some of his fans and sympathisers have besieged the hospital to see how their music idol is faring following a rumour early this morning that Tuface had died, following the attack.

A detachment of policemen from the nearby area ‘E’ Police Command in Festac who provided security for him throughout the night had a hectic time controlling the crowd.

This is not the first time Tuface would have a close shave with death. Two years ago, he cheated death when armed robbers invaded his FESTAC home and shot him.
