Fake Wizkid nabbed

E.M.E Record released a statement revealing
that Wizkid's imposter is now in police
custody.
Excerpts from the statement reads…"An EME impostor is currently in police
custody. He was handed over to the police
by his latest victim- Muyiwa.
"Impersonating artists and record labels is
apparently the new 419. This is not a
unique problem to EME or it's acts, but a
serious challenge to most major labels/
artists as well as the fans and event
organizers. We've done the best we can to
streamline our processes so that anyone,
anywhere can contact us at
Bookings@empirematesentertainment.com
and know that they have right
information."
"It saddens us to know that crooks still try
to take advantage of our fans and
supporters but we are doing all we can to
put the right info out and we hope that
everyone takes note, so as not to fall into
their traps."
On Wednesday afternoon, June 19, Wizkid
visited the Zone 2 command Onikan of the
Nigerian Police force for another case
involving an imposter who collected
N500,000 from some University of Lagos
students.
Wizkid was invited alongside his manager
Godwin Tom for questioning by the police
after he was accused of collecting money
and then failing to appear at UNILAG's
Concert of Life gig which took place at the
institution's Sports Centre on May 21st. He
was at the station for a few hours and was
only allowed to leave after he'd written a
statement and bailed by his lawyer.
EME says the police will continue to
apprehend other imposters.
