Nigerian rapper A-Q has revealed that he was attacked by about 10 masked men armed with machetes while taking a walk in East Legon, Accra, Ghana.

The rapper, whose real name is Gilbert Bani, said the incident occurred around 10 p.m. on Saturday, October 17, when the assailants surrounded him on five motorcycles.

According to him, the attackers attempted to corner him, while those riding as passengers swung machetes at him. He said one of the blows, which was aimed at his head, struck his elbow instead.

A-Q managed to escape across the road, where a passerby came to his aid and took him to a hospital. He subsequently underwent surgery, and his injuries were treated.

The rapper disclosed that the incident had been reported to the Ghana Police Service, which is investigating the attack. He also assured his fans that he was now in a safe place.

He expressed gratitude to the stranger who helped him and the medical team that provided treatment.

A-Q further urged his fans and the public to avoid speculation about the attack or accuse anyone of being responsible without evidence.

He called on anyone with relevant information to share it with the police, adding, “Let the police do their work, and if you have any information, please share it with them.”
