Nigerian pop star Wizkid has been issued an
arrest warrant for cancelling his Uganda
concert recently.

The Nigerian pop star missed the concert
scheduled to take place on Saturday, December
3 at Lugogo Cricket Oval in Kampala. He was
unable to fly into Uganda from USA due to
‘unavoidable circumstances’ according to the
organisers.
‘Between 29th August 2016 and 29th November
2016, our client (Face TV) paid to Mr. Sunday
Are, Wizkid’s manager the full performance fee
of US$60,000, a brokerage fee of US$5,000 and
US$3,000 being per diem for the days they
were going to stay in Uganda,’ documents filed
by the Chief Magistrates Court of Buganda
detailed.

See Arrest warrant below;
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.
