How MC Oluomo Was Stabbed… K1’s Role Revealed

Kunle Rasheed, the Publicist of Fuji maestro, Wasiu Ayinde Anifowoshe popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, says MC Oluomo was stabbed on stage by one of Kunle Poly’s boys.

Naija News recalls that MC Oluomo, who is the Lagos State Treasurer of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), was stabbed last week Tuesday during the rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Skypower Grounds, Ikeja Government Reservation Area (GRA).

Narrating the events that led to the stabbing of MC Oluomo, Rasheed said the crisis, which was purely union matter, started between NURTW State Auditor Adekunle Mustapha (Sego) and Idumota Chairman Azeez Lawal (a.k.a Kunle Poly) on K1’s stage.

His words: “Both of them (Mustapha and Lawal) had issues on K1’s stage and K1 waded into the matter. At a point, Mustapha left the stage. Not quite long. MC Oluomo came on stage and exchanged greetings with K1, NURTW State Chairman, Tajudeen Agbede. As at that time, the boys of Sego and Kunle Poly had started fighting on the ground. So, it was not safe for MC Oluomo to leave the stage until one of Kunle Poly’s boys came on stage and threatening to kill MC Oluomo with a dagger. Agbede slapped him three times and chased him away. K1 also joined him to chase him away from the stage. He later returned to the stage and stabbed MC Oluomo and one Abija. That was how it happened.”

Rasheed said if not for K1, the crisis would have been bigger than that as he was repeatedly talking to both warring parties to douse the tension.

“I was on the stage with them. I was there all through. K1 tried his best to resolve the crisis between the NURTW leaders over the State Chairmanship tussle even before that rally. People should stop accusing K1 of not doing enough to resolve their crisis,” he said.

The publicist denied that the musician abused Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, which some said led the supporters of the governor to start the crisis.

He, however, noted that the track people were referring to has nothing to do with Governor Ambode.

“If you check the new album he made for (Babajide) Sanwo-Owu, that track is there. He has even sung the track long before the crisis started. The track is all about APC and the party’s governorship candidate,” he said.
On why K1 continued singing while the Lagos state governor was making his speech, Rasheed described it as normal practice.

“If you are at the APC Convention in Abuja, the instruction was that as soon as someone is introduced, K1 will sing. Same thing happened at the Skypower Grounds, K1 started singing when Governor Ambode handed the party’s flag to Sanwo-Olu and that has nothing to do with the crisis. He didn’t abuse or insulted Governor Ambode as some are peddling,” he added.
