The timely intervention of operatives of the
Department of State Security (DSS) saved dancehall/pop singer, Timaya, from
being robbed of his valuables by youths of Bayelsa state shortly after
performing at the All Progressive Congress (APC) mega rally, yesterday, August
15, Metroparrot reports.
Timaya who was ushered into the jam-packed stadium
by armed policemen was left unprotected after performing as the policemen
around escorted political bigwigs out of the stadium.
He left the stage with a few youths who tried to
escort him out of the stadium but other youths joined and tried to steal
Timaya’s gold chains and sunglasses but the ‘sanko’ singer quickly removed his
valuables and kept it in his pocket.
The youths who were expecting the musician to
‘settle-them’ continued to harass Timaya until some DSS operatives who
recognised the music star sprayed tear gas to scare the youths away.
Timaya who is a Bayelsa indigene was subsequently
escorted out of the sports complex by the DSS officials through another gate.
