Korra Obidi Attacked With Knife, Acid In London
UNITED States of America -based Nigerian dancer and singer Korra Obidi has been attacked with a knife and acid during a live stream in the UK.
The identity of her attacker is not known. The assailant reportedly threw a liquid substance onto the Nigerian dancer’s face.
Last week, she mentioned being reported to British immigration authorities by anonymous sources, resulting in her being halted at the border.
“There was a knife,” the Nigerian dancer, who competed on the FOX competition series in 2019, shared in an 11 April Instagram video, “acid attack on me in the UK in the middle of a live stream.”
In the clip, the 32-year-old was seen being treated by first responders as a yellow knife lay next to her on the pavement. “Guys I’m in the hospital,” she wrote in the comments. “Safety with travel is no longer a luxury but a necessity. The acid was salicylic and I was lucky. Love you guys.”
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson told E! News that Police were called that afternoon in response to reports of an assault in central London.
“Officers attended and found a woman in her 30s with a cut to her hand and reported a liquid had been thrown at her face,” the spokesperson said. “She was taken to hospital for treatment. The liquid was later confirmed to be a non-noxious cosmetic item.”
The statement added, “Another woman left the scene prior to police arrival. An investigation is underway.”
