For those in tune with music in the 1980s, the name Queen Salawa Abeni would be remembered amongst the names that dominated the scene.
The Waka queen recently took to her Instagram page recounting how she escaped a robbery attack.
According to her:“My people. Help me thank and praise God. I escaped a robbery last night. Allah Akbar kabir . I’m fine my people. Glory be to almighty God”.
Recall that back in 2008, the revered singer was ill for years. However in an interview, she shared how she was able to scale through that dark phase of her life.
“I cannot really explain what happened but it was paralysis and was extremely bad. I could neither walk nor do anything. I thank Almighty Allah because not everyone could go through what I went through and still survive. Thank God for my siblings, my children, my band boys, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former Governor Fashola and now Governor Ambode, who later took the responsibilities upon him after my recovery. To be out of work as an entertainer for six years is no joke. My band boys stood by me and they didn’t go! It’s not easy to hold down band boys for five/six years and think they would still work for you”.
