A fraudster who has been taking advantage of unsuspecting victims claiming to be a rep for Wizkid and EME has finally beenarrested by the Nigerian Police Force.
Wizkid speaking yesterday (July 3,
2013) in Lagos, while reacting to on-
going investigations on recent
discoveries and arrests said, ‘It’s
unfair that fraudsters will take
advantage of unsuspecting victims ’.
‘The culprit has been apprehended and
all is being done to make sure such
incidents don’t reoccur .’ Wizkid
added.
A statement released last night, and made available to NET, says An EME impostor is currently in police custody. He was handed over to the police by his latest victim- Muyiwa. Muyiwa also known as ‘Origin’ started transactions with the impostor, only to discover he was being duped and quickly handed him
over to the police.
Wizkid was recently invited to the
Zone 2 Command of the Nigeria
Police Force, Onikan, Lagos as part of the force’s on-going investigations in a case with some students from the University of Lagos, who had been swindled by the fraudster.
EME label head, Banky W who says
he’s also been a victim
impersonation, says the label is
putting all structures in place, while
working with relevant authorities to
make sure the trend is put to a stop.
‘This is not a unique problem to EME
or its acts, but a serious challenge to
most major labels/artists as well as
the fans and event organizers’, he
added.
