Starboy, Wizkid after several weeks of hide and seek with
the Nigerian Police following reports of a breach of contract, finally
showed up. His appearance led to his arrest and subsequently, he was
quizzed by the policemen of Zone 2, Lagos to explain why he collected
the sum of N500, 000.00 from some students of the University of Lagos to
perform at the botched CONCERT of LIFE UNILAG billed for May21, 2013.
The aggrieved students, E24-7 reliably gathered subsequently reported
the matter at the Police State HQ, Ikeja where the 23year old singer was
invited to come and clear himself of the allegation. His claim for his
absence was an international engagement.
Apparently miffed by his attitude, the students took the case to the
office of the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone2, Lagos where
he was summoned to report on Friday, June 14, 2013. The invitation
letter was received on his behalf by his dad, Alhaji Balogun at his
Shitta, Surulere, Lagos residence. Again, his failure to show up
angered the police officers who did not entertain the lawyer he sent to
represent him claiming his absence was due to the auto accident he had
recently.
Today, Wednesday, 19 June, 2013, when he showed up, he came in the
company of his manager, Godwin Tom and his lawyer. In his statement, he
claimed that he has never met the students who alleged that he
received the sum of N500, 000.00 from them and never showed up for
performance. He was later detained alongside his manager briefly before
his lawyer took steps to bail both of them.
E24-7 MAGAZINE’s checks revealed that one or two among the group of
students were childhood friends of Wizkid and he simply offered to do
the concert for them at the ridiculously discounted fee, which prompted
them to have spent money on publicity on and off campus and all media
platforms.
Reliable sources informed E24-7MAGAZINE that some of the students and
Wizkid actually attended ijebu Ode Grammar School, Ijebu Ode, Ogun
State together and he actually gave his ECOBANK account details where
the said amount was paid April 29, 2013. There is also proof of sms
conversations to ratify their claims.
Pending the outcome of further investigations, the Police authorities have fixed another date for the two parties to report.
