The Federal Government has secured the release of popular singer and songwriter, Oluwatobiloba Daniel (aka Kizz Daniel), who was arrested in Tanzania after failing to show up for a paid concert in the country.
Last night, Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, announced that the singer had been released.
The Nation reports that organisers of the Summer Amplified Show had arrested the “Buga” hit maker for failing to perform at the well-publicised show on Sunday night.
Fans of the singer were forced to wait until 6 a.m. for a live performance, but Kizz Daniel was absent.
The singer was reported to have arrived in the country earlier but refused to perform because of unavailability of his clothes.
A viral video on Twitter showed the singer wearing a black hoodie while being escorted into a Tanzanian police van.
But while reacting to a tweet last night from a twitter user pleading for Federal Government’s intervention, Mrs. Abike said: “KD has been released.
“His legal team will, however, report back to the police tomorrow (today) while he will subsequently return to Nigeria.”
