Suspected armed robbers shot and wounded Nigeria's music star '2-Face Idibia' in the commercial city of Lagos Thursday night, shortly after he arrived from London, where he went to collect an award, sources close to the musician said.

The sources told PANA Friday that Idibia, who was riding in the same car with fellow musician Face and two others when the incident happened along the airport road, was taken to Cedar Hospital in Festac Town for treatment after he was shot in the left thigh.

Hospital sources said the award-winning musician was responding to treatment

The musician, whose popular tunes have rocked the country's music scene for some years, was previously attacked by robbers about two years ago at his Festac residence.
