An Igbosere Magistrates’ Court sitting in Lagos, on Wednesday, heard that the brutal attack on Wizkid’s bodyguard, Roy Emmanuel Obinna, at club DNA had to do with the debt incurred by the music star.
Emmanuel was attacked with a broken bottle on November 15, 2018. His assailants left him with deep cuts on his face and body.
Though club DNA had denied the fracas had anything to do with Wizkid’s N15 million debt, Emmanuel lawyers insisted the club lied when the chairman of Poshhills Entertainment, Olufemi Olusanya aka Femi Posh, and a bouncer, David Afari, were arraigned for allegedly stabbing the bodyguard.
According to Vanguardngr, the bodyguard was allegedly beaten while he was trying to pay part of Wizkid’s N15 million debt.

Posh, 38, and Afari 29, are facing a three-count bordering on conspiracy, unlawful assault and grievous bodily harm.
It was gathered that Roy had on November 15 gone to DNA to settle the bill that his boss was owing when he was attacked by the defendants.
It was also learned that Wizkid owed the nightclub the sum of N8 million and also N7 million for a pool party. The bodyguard was said to have gone to settle part when Posh called Afari to beat him up and also used a broken glass to injure him.
During the arraignment of the duo, the police prosecutor, Inspector Joseph Jimoh, told the court that the offences committed is punishable under sections 411, 173 and 245 of the criminal laws of Lagos State 2015.
However, the duo pleaded not guilty to the charges filed against them. Their lawyer, D. Mustapher, urged the court to admit the defendants to bail on a liberal term as steps are already being taken to settle the matter, adding that one of the steps being taken is the footing of the complainant’s medical bills.
