Renowned Nigerian Afrobeat artist Joel Amadi, popularly known as Joe EL, is currently hospitalized in critical condition after a violent assault at an event in Lagos. Reports indicate that the singer sustained multiple injuries, including broken bones, during the incident.

The attack occurred over a week ago, leaving Amadi with severe injuries that necessitated immediate medical attention. He has since been receiving intensive care at a Lagos hospital, where medical professionals are closely monitoring his condition.

The motive behind the assault remains unclear, and authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding the incident. Fans and colleagues within the music industry have expressed their shock and concern over the attack, taking to social media to offer prayers and support for Amadi’s swift recovery.

This incident adds to a series of personal tragedies for the singer. In July 2020, Amadi faced the devastating loss of his father, who was killed during an attack by suspected herdsmen in Southern Kaduna. The singer publicly mourned his father’s death, expressing deep sorrow and calling for justice.

Joel Amadi, celebrated for his contributions to the Nigerian music scene, has been a prominent figure since his debut in 2006. Known for hits like “Bakololo” and collaborations with artists such as 2Baba and Oritsefemi, Amadi’s influence extends beyond music, as he actively engages in social issues affecting his community.

As investigations into the recent attack continue, fans and well-wishers remain hopeful for Amadi’s full recovery and are eager for updates on his health and the progress of the case.
