The news was shared by his wife, gospel singer and pastor Linet Munyali, widely known as Size 8, who took to Instagram to thank God for protecting her husband during the violent encounter.

According to her post, DJ Mo was confronted by criminals armed with a machete who robbed him of his phone but did not inflict serious injuries.

In the emotional social media message, Size 8 expressed gratitude that her husband survived the terrifying ordeal.

“The devil is a liar! Our God reigns supreme! Jesus Christ is Lord! Dear God thank you for life,” she wrote.

“Asante sana to Tash, Kevo and Ben for the great rescue. God bless you,” she added.
