Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>People verbally attacked musician Eli Njuchi when he attended the funeral ceremony of fellow musician Martin Martse Nkhata. According to reports, an angry mob attacked the Malo a Ziii Wo star, having allegedly linked his latest hit song Gugugu to Martse\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

A video which is in circulation on social media, shows a group of youths at the funeral chanting about Niuchi. Writing on his Facebook page, Njuchi has denied claims that he was attacked. The musician said he is safe and sound.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am well, safe and sound. I wasn\u2019t beaten as reported, it was a chaotic moment when the crowd wanted time to engage with me,\u201d reads part of his post<\/p>\n

However, other people at the funeral claim that Eli was beaten by the angry mob. Alice Mbessah commented, \u201cWe saw people beating you, stop lying.\u201d Some people have condemned the attack on the young artists. They believe this should not have space in a civilized world.<\/p>\n

\u201cMalawi why? This is uncalled for, there it shouldn\u2019t have place in a modern world. Live Eli alone, he is just an innocent soul,\u201d commented Portia Njobvu.<\/p>\n

Some people have been linking Martse\u2019s death to Njuchi\u2019s latest hit song Gugugu which was released a few weeks before the Martse\u2019s death. \u201cUzangomva wina wafa\/Chauta anandimana patience (You will just hear someone has died\/I don\u2019t have patience),\u201d sound part of Gugugu.<\/p>\n

Martse\u2019s family said at the funeral that the musician rushed back into a burning house where he sustained burns leading to his death. Martse went back into burning house, family says.<\/p>\n
