Beyonce Knowles' security guards have reportedly been asked to watch out for obsessed fan Bassey Essien when the singer headlines Sound of Change concert Saturday.
Essien, who had been sending threatening letters to the singer since 2009, has been warned to stay away from the 31-year-old star, thesun.co.uk reports.
