Testimony Jaga Opens Up About Struggles as a Rising Singer

Gospel singer Testimony Jaga has shared a harrowing experience from his past, highlighting the importance of a mother’s prayers in protecting her children.

Speaking on the Honest Bunch podcast, Jaga recalled his desperate pursuit of success in the music industry, which led him to associate with a powerful figure who was later revealed to be involved in criminal activities.

Hoping to advance his career, Jaga stayed at the man’s house and performed menial tasks like washing his car, unaware of the danger surrounding him.

However, his world turned upside down when he discovered a gun inside a bag in his room, triggering a chaotic and life-threatening confrontation.

Gunshots rang out, and Jaga found himself in a terrifying situation, struggling to escape while facing accusations of being part of the criminal operation.

He repeatedly asserted his innocence, insisting he was a musician, not a thief.

Jaga also mentioned that his father had given him protective charms to wear, but they proved ineffective during the crisis, reinforcing his belief in the power of prayer over superstitions.

“Every mother keep praying for your kids. I was ready to do anything to blow. E get one guy wey promise to help us. I con go dey sleep him house, wash him car. Very influential guy. I don think say the guy go help my life, I no know say na armed robber dem be. So I dey live for the man house, dem con put one bag for my room, I no know say na gun dey there.

“As they began shooting, I no know when I wan run go. If I go run wey dey fire me for back. I dey hear open the gate now or we kill you. I dey hear the voice and the voice no be one. And that time SARS dey hot. Dem dey tell me say the man don confess say na me and ham dey thief.

“I keep saying what i’m saying ‘I no be thief, na musician I be’. All the things they gave me to tie on my waist fell off without having any effect it was supposed to have. My dad gave me to put it around my waist when I was coming to Lagos”, he said.
