Whoopi Goldberg's tour bus bursts into flames as she performs on stage in Canada

A Business  administration student of  Lagos State Polytechnic, Isolo, identified as Kunbi reportedly received a phone call from a private security guard, identified simply as Aliu, who lives on same street with him, to come collect the  N32,000 he owed him.

Kunbi who owned a provision store and was also preparing for his wedding in December had sold his motorcycle to Aliu, in order to raise money to pay his school fees, about a month ago.

Whoopi Goldberg was forced to cut a show short Saturday night due to her tour bus bursting into flames.

The comedian, who was performing at Casino New Brunswick in Moncton, Canada, ended her show when hundreds of people were told to evacuate the venue because her tour bus parked outside was on fire behind the auditorium.

Goldberg, who was on stage at the time, was not involved in the fire.

It's unclear what started the blaze, according to TMZ.

It's also unclear if anyone was in the bus at the time or if there are any injuries.

Pictures from the scene show huge plumes of smoke emanating from mostly the front end of the bus.

Sarah Bissett, who was in attendance, said that audience members began smelling smoke towards the end of The View co-host's show, according to The Canadian Press.

The 59-year-old Goldberg was slated to perform only one show in Moncton.

The casino advertised the Oscar-winner's show as offering 'Whoopi’s unique observations on current events and a wide variety of topics that are on her mind.'

The comedian has been heavily promoting her new relationship book, 'If Someone Says, 'You complete me' Run!' and her daughter Alex's Centric/BET reality show, According to Alex, on social media.

The View co-host is the only black artist who has won awards for Grammy, Academy, Golden Globe, Emmy and Tony, but she is often under fire for her controversial stances.

The comedian drew heated criticism for vehemently standing by Bill Cosby despite numerous accusations by women who said he'd drugged and raped them.

She backtracked slightly after it came out that the disgraced icon admitted in a deposition to giving women drugs to get them to have sex.
