Singer throws caution to the winds, beats up photo-journalist

Described as fiery and hot tempered, the singer allegedly went bonkers on the journalist for attempting to take her photograph.

Singer Omawumi, who is a top music star and a brand Ambassador to one of the biggest telecommunications company in Nigeria, reportedly descended on a photo-journalist at an event over the weekend and beat him up.

According to the victim, Adekola Bamigbala, he had wanted to take her pictures after the event when the singer allegedly pounced on him, snatched his big camera and with it, dealt him heavy strikes in the face in quick succession, leaving him with a swollen face.

He said he could not do anything to defend himself because Omawumi’s bodyguards were on standby to beat him to pulp if he as much as defended himself.

Bamigbala, who said he was confused on why she should attack him in such a manner, may consider seeking legal action against her.
