Gospel artiste, Lanre Teriba better known as Atorise, who was reportedly shot in the leg in South Africa, has debunked rumour going round that he was confined on a wheelchair after he was shot.

After returning to Nigeria, Atorise went on Facebook to put the records straight. Atorise said he was never on a wheelchair as being speculated by some people.

His post reads, "I want to thank my dear fans,friends and everyone who has been praying for me. I went to tour South Africa and after my first show I was shot in the leg and robbed.

"But I was not confined to a wheelchair. I was also told that some are even going around saying God spoke to them about me being in a wheel chair, they are liars.

"As for those saying God is using this to punish me, may God forgive us all. And may we learn to let God be the judge. I want to also use this opportunity to plead with journalist, please stop spreading false news, do your research, and provide Nigerians something they can learn from , not useless gossip.

"I also plead to everyone in the world be careful of what you accept as the truth. I'm grateful that God has spared my life and I pray his love protects us and leads us all in the right way.

"I'm back and ready for my Nigerian fans. My mission to spread the gospel continues. One love, God bless."
