Nigerian singer and songwriter Qdot has spoken candidly about the lasting emotional impact of the armed robbery attack he survived in September 2025, revealing that the frightening experience continues to haunt him months later.
The music star revisited the painful episode through his newly released song, 28 of Sept, which debuted in January 2026. According to Qdot, the track is more than just music; it is a deeply personal outlet through which he confronts fear, trauma and the struggle to reclaim his peace of mind after the violent incident.
In the song, Qdot recounts the night his home was invaded by armed men, an encounter he has described as the most terrifying moment of his life. The lyrics reflect raw emotions, touching on faith, survival, gratitude and resilience, while also exposing the emotional scars left behind by the attack.
Beyond the music, the singer shared more details of the ordeal, explaining that the assailants held him at gunpoint and stripped him of valuable possessions. He revealed that his phones and laptops were taken, his bank accounts were emptied and even his social media accounts were hijacked during the robbery. While the physical losses were significant, Qdot admitted that the psychological damage has been far more difficult to overcome.
Taking to X to express his ongoing struggle, the artiste confessed that peace has eluded him since the incident. He disclosed that he now experiences recurring fear and frequent sleep disturbances, often waking up in the early hours of the morning overwhelmed by anxiety.
“28 of Sept OUT NOW. Even though September 28 has passed, the trauma is still with me. I wake up every night at 2:30 a.m. in fear and can no longer sleep peacefully. I pray for healing and peace, and for stronger government action so this suffering can finally end @followlasg @CruLagospolice @LagosPoliceNG,” Qdot wrote.
His message highlighted the long-term mental health consequences of violent crime, shedding light on how such experiences continue to affect victims long after the physical danger has passed. Qdot’s revelation also sparked conversations online, with fans and fellow artistes expressing sympathy and encouraging him to seek healing.
The singer explained that 28 of Sept was created as a form of therapy, allowing him to process emotions he has struggled to articulate since the attack. By turning his pain into music, Qdot said he hoped not only to find relief for himself but also to connect with others who may have endured similar experiences.
In addition to sharing his personal journey, Qdot used the opportunity to call on authorities to take stronger action against insecurity. He appealed to government officials and law enforcement agencies to intensify efforts aimed at curbing violent crimes, noting that no one should have to live in constant fear in their own home.
According to him, improved security measures and proactive policing could help prevent others from going through the same trauma he continues to battle. His appeal echoed the concerns of many Nigerians who have repeatedly raised alarms over rising cases of armed robbery and violent attacks across the country.
While Qdot remains grateful to be alive, he admitted that the road to healing has been slow and challenging. He described the loss of peace as one of the most painful outcomes of the incident, adding that recovery goes beyond replacing stolen items.
Through 28 of Sept, Qdot hopes to raise awareness about the emotional aftermath of violent crime, encourage empathy for victims and remind listeners that survival often comes with invisible wounds. As he continues his healing journey, the singer remains hopeful that sharing his story will inspire change, support and a renewed commitment to safety from those in positions of authority.
