According to the musician, the arsonists burned his property at around 11pm.  Luckily, he did not sustain any injuries as he escaped with his life.  “I was watching a football game around 11pm when I saw my sitting room door going up in flames.  I was able to scream for my neighbours, who helped me to break the burglar door down.  We managed to put out the fire with water,” he said.
