Singer Bayo Adeleke aka B-Red and son of Osun State governor Ademola Adeleke, has reportedly escaped what has been described as an assassination attempt in Osogbo, the state capital.
The incident reportedly happened around 3:30 pm on Thursday, April 30, along the Oke-Fia area, close to the government house.
According to reports, the singer was trailed and chased by a group of suspected hoodlums while he was out.
Narrating the incidence, B-Red said he had stepped out to purchase a few items at Alekuwodo market when things suddenly took a dangerous turn. He explained that, while in traffic under the Oke-Fia bridge, several motorcycle riders allegedly wearing AMBO-branded caps began to surround his vehicle.
He further stated that things escalated quickly when another vehicle joined the scene. According to him, a white Toyota Venza approached while the occupants shouted, “It’s him! It is him!”
As he attempted to leave the area, the attackers intensified their pursuit, and a vehicle reportedly tried to block his path and multiple motorcycles joined in the chase. The pursuit allegedly continued until he reached the gate of the Osun State Government House in Oke-Fia.
He also claimed that one of the individuals involved in the incident was Asiri Eniba, whom he described as a known political thug.
Following the incident, the Osun State government has called for immediate action, urging security agencies to launch a full investigation and arrest those involved immediately.
While B-Red escaped unharmed, the incident has left behind serious questions and growing pressure on authorities to act fast.
