Akure-based Gospel Singer, Heben Ajayi, is dead. According to reports, he was attacked by armed robbers and shot at his residence.
“We rushed him University College Hospital(UCH), Ibadan, Oyo State and the medical personnel demanded a police report before he could be attended to after we explained that he was shot by armed robbers. Then we rushed him to a private hospital —J-Rapha Hospital and they also refused to treat him without a police report.
He bled for three hours. Unfortunately, he died while we were trying to look for another hospital to take him to. It’s absurd that this happened, he could hav been alive if these hospitals had treated him first before demanding a police report. His wedding was to take place next week. It’s sad!,” a source said. Meanwhile, friends have taken to social media to express anger at the incident. [Swipe]
