Jide Kosoko attacked on the street!

(Hand raised) Jide Kosoko in midst of the crowd

The incident happened on Friday April 1st around 2pm around Ojota, Lagos. And according to an eyewitness (who sent in the photo), Prince Jide Kosoko mistakenly rammed into a passerby, although he didn't injure the man. Then the passerby picked up an object and hit Jide Kosoko's four wheel drive. Mr Kosoko came out of his car and held onto the man. But before it could become a fight, a small crowd gathered and separated the two men.

Jide Kosoko eventually had to part with some cash to appease the onlookers who recognised him and started hailing him.
