I did not kill anybody –Pasuma

Fuji exponent, Wasiu Alabi Odetola,
better known as Pasuma Wonder, has
denied killing a boy in a hit and run
accident.
Speaking through his manager, Afolabi
Oyekoya, Pasuma said there is no truth
in the allegation while condemning the
stories on the Internet that the his
convoy hit a young boy.
According to the stories, one of the
convoys of the fuji star ran over a
teenage fan after Pasuma's vehicle had
knocked down the victim on their way
back from a show at Idimu-Council area
of Alimosho Local Government Area of
Lagos State.
The victim, simply known as Bidemi, a
12-year old and fan of the singer, was
said to have been lurking around to get
a glimpse of the star as he was leaving
the St. Augustine Events Hall, Isheri-
Idimu, venue of the said show.
However, Oyekoya said it was saddening
that some people would peddle such
'heavy rumours' in order to drag
somebody's name to the mud.
"In fact, I don't even want to talk about
this. It is simply sad that one's image
would be spoilt just like this. If Pasuma
had killed anybody, don't you think he
should have been in the police custody
by now? Pasuma wasn't invited by the
police. Nobody arrested him. Nobody
invited him for questioning. So how
would anybody just come out and say
that Pasuma killed somebody?"
Oyekoya admitted that a young boy was
killed but he insisted that it wasn't
Pasuma's vehicle that knocked him
down.
Earlier on, a source who had claimed he
was an eyewitness, blamed the police
for the accident.
"We went for a show at Idimu. After the
show, a crowd of area boys came to
meet us and as usual, Pasuma gave
them N100, 000. Anytime he goes for
shows like that, he normally asks for the
leader of the boys in the area and he
gives them N100, 000. After he gave
them the money, he drove off but there
was a police patrol vehicle behind us.
"Probably, when the police saw the
crowd, they must have thought
something dangerous was happening. It
must have been the police's van that
killed the young boy and they even
seized the corpse. The family of the boy
had to pay before the corpse was
released. It has nothing to do with
Paso," the source said.
Meanwhile, when Saturday Beats called
the police public relations officer, Ngozi
Braide concerning the allegation, her
phone was switched off. She didn't
reply the text message sent to her.
