Nigerian music star and one-half of the defunct Psquare duo, Peter Okoye, has opened up about what he describes as a sudden slowdown in his social media growth following the group’s reunion.

In a video that has gone viral on X, formerly known as Twitter, he expressed concern over the increasing frequency of attacks, saying Nigerians now face danger at any time of the day.
“Nigerians, it is getting worse. As it stands right now, nobody is safe in this country. No minute is safe. No time is safe. No day is safe. In the morning, afternoon, night they can attack you,” he said.
The media personality alleged that suspected bandits attacked a drilling company in Magun, a community in Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State, on June 8, 2026, between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.
According to him, the gunmen stormed the Chinese-owned facility, killed a soldier who was on duty, and abducted some workers.
D English Alhaji said the attack took place in broad daylight, describing it as another sign of how emboldened criminal groups have become.
“They don’t enter West. Fully, they don’t enter. We’ve been shouting this thing, people were saying it’s only happening in the North. Now it is now in the West,” he said.
He further claimed that the attackers ran into military personnel while attempting to flee, leading to an exchange of gunfire.
According to him, the confrontation resulted in casualties before the suspects escaped from the scene.
