Popular US-based Nigerian dancer and singer Anita Obidi popularly known as Korra Obidi, has been attacked in the United Kingdom.
Korra made this known via her official Instagram saying the attack occurred while she was in the middle of a live stream on Thursday, April 11, 2024.
In a video shared by Obidi on her Instagram account, she said, “My face is burning, can I have some coke to wash it please.”
The content creator could be seen in distress, frantically washing her face with a Coca-Cola beverage, likely to neutralize the burning sensation of an acid attack.
In the same video, two uniformed officers arrived at the scene. 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.
The dancer described her attacker as 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 wakeup call.
Obidi had confessed in an interview in 2022 that she cheated on her estranged husband, Justin Dean, while she was in Nigeria before she moved to America to be with him.
Dean had accused his wife of cheating, being a narcissist and not taking responsibility for her actions as he gave reasons for them getting a divorce.
He also claimed that his wife’s private was named after a club.
In one of his posts, he apologised to fans that felt they had a perfect marriage, stating that likes and views should not be the highlight of a marriage.
Korra and Dean got married in 2018 and have two children together .The marriage crashed in March 2022.
A few weeks after their divorce, Obidi accused her ex-husband of stealing $5000 from their joint account.
In November 202, she also alleged that Dean demanded spousal support from her.
Last year, Obidi claimed she paid half of her bride price. She also alleged she paid $50,000 to Dean just to see her kids.
Dean, however, accused his ex-wife of ruining his reputation in July.
He said her actions caused him harm and made him depressed.
