The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC reportedly arrested Daramin Records Artiste, Damibliz whil in Lagos, Nigeria for a tour.

According to source, the 21ear-old was arrested at gun point in his hotel room alongside promotion and social media managers, at their hotel in one Premium Apartment located at DideOlu Estate, Lagos, minutes after an all night performance in Club Elite.

Sources further confirmed that the London based artiste who have not been in Nigeria for quite a while was left in shock and most likely traumatized by the incident.

Confirming the incident, in what looks like an angry but calm statement, his label, Daramin Records says it wont be pressing charges against the commission.

An earlier statement by the EFCC  states –

“Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Lagos Zonal Office, have arrested 53 suspected internet fraudsters in Lagos.

“They were arrested in sting operations in different parts of Lagos State between June 2, 2021 and June 5, 2021, following credible intelligence received about their alleged involvement in computer-related fraud.”

But Daramin Records in the statement refuted the claim, saying “to think “someone” decided to give false information which lead to the disruption of his promotional tour leaves the question to be asked, who is so scared of Damibliz’s impact and progress in the music industry?”

London Based Afrobeats artiste Damibliz harassed and falsely arrested by EFCC on a day he had back to back shows in Nigeria

About two weeks ago officers of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) harassed at gun point and embarrassed our artiste, Damibliz in Nigeria and his management team which included female members of staff. After much questions, calls and messages from concerned family members, friends and fans we at Daramin Records have decided to put out this statement.

 

 

Damibliz’s promotional tour in Nigeria was cut short by the EFCC for no reason at all other than “we have received information about fraudulent activities”.

 

EFCC’s statement on the matter also shows they had carried out no prior investigation nor did they have any legitimate reason to come for Damibliz or any member of his crew, just a tip received from “someone”. Who that “someone” is still remains a mystery.

 

We won’t be pressing charges but we would like the officers in red to be more professional in future and to carry out proper investigations and surveillance before they arrest anyone to avoid unnecessary embarrassment to law abiding citizens of Nigeria and even themselves. Their actions have caused serious embarrassment to Damibliz and his team and loss of deals.

 

After full investigation no member of Damibliz’s team was found to have done anything wrong and they were all released without any charges. This was always going to be the case as no one in Damibliz’s team has ever engaged in fraudulent activities.

 

Damibliz is a hard-working artiste who is well known for his versatility in delivering mind blowing lines which always result in banging songs and to think “someone” decided to give false information which lead to the disruption of his promotional tour leaves the question to be asked, who is so scared of Damibliz’s impact and progress in the music industry?

 

 

Damibliz is safe and has recovered from the ordeal and so has his team.

 

We appreciate and thank all our fans, family members and friends who have shown concern and have been trying to reach us.

 

Damibliz is fine and ready to hit with another banger soon.
