Princewill Ojukwu:Don Jazzy asked his Thugs to brutalize me

Popular Lagos socialite and former manager of Auto Lounge Nite Club, Princewill Ojukwu, is accusing ace music producer Don Jazzy of sending thugs to beat him up, this is according to an exclusive report by Stella Dimoko Korkus.

Princewill is alleging in a petition to the IG of Police, that on Friday December 21st, Don Jazzy asked his thugs to 'take his life' after he and the music producer exchanged words at Jazzy's night club, Pop, situated in Victoria Island.

Princewill claimed he was brutally beaten and stripped naked under the supervision of Don Jazzy and he suffered blunt force trauma to the eye, face and body. Sounds insane!

Princewill is also claiming that Don Jazzy sent a text to him some days back apologizing for the beating and asking for an account to send money for hospital bill but he says he's not interested.

'Its not about the money' Ojukwu told Dimoko 'this could happen to anyone, it is abuse of power and needs to be checked before someone is killed all in the name of the other being a celebrity. Don Jazzy stood there pinging on his blackberry as his thugs beat me up, that is the last thing I remember before I fainted....''

Weeks after the beating, Princewill says he cannot wear shoes, still walks around in pain and has constant migraine. He said he reported the case at the Bar Beach police station but no arrest was ever made. See his petition after the cut...

Very touching. Thank God the guy also spoke out.

On Bisi’s Jeep and properties....

Tunde:  Bisi’s property, I don't think it is a proper thing for family members to be fighting me for bisi’s properties less than 24hours after Bisi’s death when we should be mourning her. Bisi died at age 27 and it is sad. I am sending the Honda Pilot back to them, sad enough Bisi’s parents do not have issues with me but her extended family members. Please note I have given them time and place to pick the car.

Doctor:Bisi Komolafe Didn't Bleed But Kept Receiving Blood

A lot of stories have been flying around, and we also got so many comments that suggested it was a spiritual attack. We couldn't post them because almost all fingers were pointing at a particular actor. Some websites have also said it was a spiritual attack too. Some said it was due to the negligence of the Doctors who took care of her. But one of the doctors who treated her, has this to say;

It was not just a miscarriage she had I treated her in my hospital few weeks before her demise where i counselled and referred her to UCH. She kept on receiving blood without bleeding and her pcv kept on going down. I learnt the pregnancy was terminated to save her life and in all she took about 40 units of blood within 3 months. It was not negligence on the part of the Doctors who saw her but the nature of an ailment that kept drying up her blood without any active bleeding in her body.
