Song, himself was driving his jeep and slowed by a traffic jam. He was soon recognized by fans who were quick to surround his car and began shouting his pet name; Rigo. It was then that the generous man started spraying money (faroter) to his admirers.

The bandits took the opportunity to steal a case that was on the back seat of the vehicle. Song only realized the disappearance of his briefcase much later. Rigobert Song said he lost in addition to money, jewelry valued at several million FCFA.
