Gospel Musician, Chris Morgan Stabbed, Hospitalised

Popular gospel musician, Chris Abah Ochogwu Morgan, known as Chris Morgan narrowly escaped death after being stabbed by vicious armed robbers.

The incident occurred this weekend along Airport Road, Abuja.

According to reports, Morgan and his band were returning from an event when his car suddenly developed electrical fault along the road.

The singer and his team alighted to find out the cause of the breakdown when some heavily armed men appeared from the bush and robbed them of their valuables, including cash.

Morgan said the attackers who were on a different mission, stabbed him close to his spinal cord with the aim of rendering him paralyzed.

In a statement posted on his Facebook wall, the ‘Arabaribiti’ crooner 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 recognized 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 from the enemy,” a thankful Morgan said.

Confirming the attack, Morgan’s Manager, Moses Ogidi Paul, otherwise known as MadMo, described the incident as a miraculous escape.

“The devil has been put to shame. We are just busy preparing for his concert, The Closet with Chris Morgan and the devil thought he could distract us.

“The doctor said the sword was an inch away from his spinal cord, which would have coffined him to wheelchair,” he said.

Speaking on the forthcoming event, Ogidi said the event would hold despite the attack, stressing that gospel star was responding to treatment.

“The show goes on. In fact, everything is set for the epoch-making event. Our billboards and adverts are all over the city of Abuja,” he added.
