davido4While Nigerian singer D’banj was busy enjoying Ugandan “Kokolets” last weekend, his countryman Davido was having a nightmarish time in South Africa after he was attacked by armed robbers who made off with $185,000 (Shs647m) in cash, two Rolex watches and a passport.

Davido, his manager, Kamal Ajiboye and Mcomm Solution’s CEO, Chidi Okeke, were on their way to their hotel when two armed robbers attacked them.

“We had just arrived in SA yesterday evening, so we stopped for traffic light, next thing, they (robbers) crossed us and two of them came out with guns and they used their guns to smash our glass […] The robbery happened at Greyston Shopping centre, Moloko Hotel Junction. They took my bag pack, I had $45,000(Shs157m) David had $60,000 (Shs210m). We were also with the CEO of Mcomm Solution Chidi Okeke who also had $80,000 (Shs280m) on him. They took his passport, his Rolex, my Rolex sky dweller. You know, we travel all the time with different currencies, so taking our bags is the least we expected […] I’m in pain, I’m still shocked, they hit my leg with the guns, we just thank God for our lives that we are all ok for now,” Afrizap.com quoted Ajiboye.

Davido, shared the ordeal on Twitter, but contrary to what Ajiboye reported, the musician claims to have lost $55,000 (Shs192.5m). He added that he was grateful to be alive and that he still had “love for South Africa”.

Davido was in SA in transit to Atantla USA, where he is based.

South Africa is notorious for its crime rate and in 2007, reggae legend Lucky Dube was killed in an attempted car hijacking.
