The 31-year-old first thought the thieves wanted his valuables, including phones and money, but when they started the car, he gathered strength to chase them while shouting and at this point they stopped the car, beat him up until he became unconscious.
“I regained my senses after some minutes and moved to the roadside. I called my manager who came after 15 minutes and took me to the hospital where I got five stitches on the head,” Evans added.
However, the news that the car had been found excited the musician who Sqoop found at Mengo Hospital where he had gone to receive further treatment.
“I am very happy that my car has been found. I thank the police and every concerned person, especially those on social media, who acted on my behalf when they received the news. Maybe it is that quick reaction that forced the thieves to abandon the car,” Evans said.
