The Lagos State Police Command two days ago arrested a 19-year-old girl who posed as music star,Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, aka Wizkid, on social media and defrauded many people of over $65,000, equivalent of about N12.9million.
This is following a recent scandal where a show promoting agency, Humble Entertainment, openly blasted Wizkid for failing to perform at its event despite being paid.
In a statement, the company claimed that, ‘despite going through all the necessary requirements to book Wizkid which included signing a contract and paying the required fee, we have been let down
by the booking/management parties’.
Wizkid is represented in Nigeria by Sunday Are‘s ‘List Entertainment’ while his management in UK is Disturbing London led by Tinie Tempah.
Sunday Are denied knowledge of the show while Wizkid kept mum on the issue as well. Instead, he is said to have complained to the police commissioner that someone had been impersonating him and collecting money for shows.
The police swung into action and the 19-year-old suspect, identified as Ifeoma Nelly was arrested. She is said to be a student of Industrial Chemistry at the Delta State University. She was arrested through the combined efforts of Wizkid’s Manager, Mr. Sunday Are, policemen from Lagos and an Australian.
She was arrested when she came to Lagos to collect part payment of $25,000 from some Australian guy.
