Jane Mlambo| Controversial Zimdancehall musician Platinum Prince was allegedly abducted and brutally assaulted by a group of unidentified, masked and armed men on Sunday afternoon. According to sources, the incident happened a few hours after the musician arrived back in Zimbabwe from a South Africa tour.

The musician recently released a track titled “NDIYO YACHO HERE MR PRESIDENT” which seems very critical of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government’s handling of the country’s economy which is now in meltdown.

A source close to the developments said the men did not produce any warrant or give reasons for the abduction.

“The men just blocked the way of the car that the controversial musician was in and assaulted the driver who was trying to understand why they had blocked the road with their car in the process.”

Platinum Prince has previously sang songs that mocked and questioned the late former President Robert Mugabe over a number of issues including human rights abuses and corruption among other issues.
