star-boy's superstar wizkid Ayo, has been issued an arrest warrant, by the ugandan court, for allegedly cancelling his show, which he was already paid for. Wizkid and management claimed that they were unable to fly from USA, to uganda for some reasons.
Over 25,000 Ugandans had paid for tickets in anticipation of Africa’s biggest musician of 2016.
Wizkid apologised, but fresh hearsay suggested that the ‘Ojuelegba’ singer may have cancelled the concert due to the recent crisis in Kasese District, Uganda. MTV
Organisers of the event, Face TV, lodged a criminal complaint against Wizkid and his manager vide Case No. 875 of 2016 on charges of:
1. Obtaining money by false pretences, which carries a maximum sentence of five years
2. Cheating, which carries three years
3. Conspiracy to defraud which also carries a maximum of three years.
The court documents further reveal that substantial expenses in booking and re-booking flights, hotel, venue, advertising and promotions for the concert grossed over $300,000 (over N144m).
Wizkid, who is presently tending to health issues in the US, and his manager, Sunday Are, have been issued an arrest warrant to be produced in court on or before January 16, 2017.
On December 9, the ‘Ojuelegba’ singer announced via Twitter he’s cancelled his homecoming concert due to health reasons.
