Popular Nigerian dancer, Anita Obidi, also known as Korra Obidi, has come under a knife and acid attack in the United Kingdom.
According to the dancer, the attack occurred while she was in the middle of a live stream on Thursday, April 11, 2024.
She disclosed this in a video posted on her Instagram account some minutes ago.
“My face is burning, can I have some coke to wash it please,” Obidi screamed as she groaned in pain.
The livestream footage reportedly showed Korra Obidi in distress, frantically washing her face with a Coca-Cola beverage, likely to neutralize the burning sensation of an acid attack.
Two uniformed officers arrived at the scene, captured on video. One officer applied a liquid solution to her face, presumably to ease the pain. The other officer can be seen spraying her back, likely administering first aid.
In a caption accompanying the disturbing video, Obidi pleaded with the public for any information that could identify and apprehend her attacker.
Describing the assailant, Obidi stated it was a Black female of approximately five feet in height. She further revealed she had been subjected to hateful comments online in the past, but this physical assault serves as a stark wake-up call.
“Currently in an ambulance to the hospital, there was a knife, acid attack on me in the UK in the middle of a live stream.
“There’s been a lot of hate in the past but this physical assault is a wake up call.
“If you have any information as to the attacker, black female. 5 foot. please forward to Korramanagement@gmail.com,” she wrote.
