Suspected armed robbers attacked and stabbed a popular gospel singer, Chris Ochogwu Morgan, popularly known as Chris Morgan, along the Airport Road, Abuja on Saturday, June 2, 2018.
According to Daily Post, the heavily armed robbers emerged from the bush and took their valuables, including some cash.
The musician and his band were said to have alighted to check their faulty car when they were suddenly attacked.
The unknown assailants stabbed the singer close to his spinal cord but thankfully he is receiving treatment in a hospital in Gwarinpa, Abuja.
Recounting his ordeal from the hospital bed, Morgan said,
“As if that was not enough, the man took his knife and wanted to slit my throat and I began to shout Jesus and hit the sword and it injured my hand.
“I summoned courage and I took off and they went after my boys, they chased one of them for close to 30 minutes in the bush but he escaped.
“I was in the middle of the road shouting for help in the pool of my blood when a woman saw me and recognised me. She quickly opened her back door and helped me to enter.
“It was God who saved me and my team. I thank God no life was lost. It was just another distraction by the enemy.”
Also speaking on the matter, the singer’s manager, Moses Ogidi Paul, said that they miraculously escaped from the robbers.
