His manager,Ubi Franklin confirmed that he made himself available at the station and gave an account of what really happened.

“Yes I was at the Police Station this morning, we have decided to return all money paid to us, it’s not a problem. We were paid to attend and perform at the Benin and Port Harcourt shows but we missed both due to reasons beyond our control. We missed the Benin gig because we were in Ghana as at that time and we arrived pretty late for the PH gig. We however had issues with initial payment from the show organizers also.”
