performances as a result of medical advice
given to him by is doctor. Some reports have
alleged that the music act is ill but it seems a
show biz outfit who claim to have paid Wizzy
to perform in Uganda will not take such excuse
for an answer. Read the full story after the
cut....
"Face TV through its lawyer Fred Muwema of
Muwema and Company Advocates has
obtained a warrant of arrest for the singer, who
allegedly failed to honour a US$60, 000
contractual obligations to perform at a concert
in Uganda on December 3.
The warrant, issued by the Buganda Road
Court, has directed the International Police
(Interpol) and Uganda Police to arrest Wizkid,
the ‘Ojuelegba’ hitmaker.
“To: Any police officer, Uganda police force/
international police (Interpol). Whereas Sunday
of Lagos Nigeria. Stands charged with the
offence of; C1: Obtaining money by false
pretence contrary to section 305 of the penal
code act. C11: cheating contrary to section
307 of the penal code act.
You are hereby directed to arrest the said
Sunday Are and produce him before me on or
before the 16th day of January 2017.” The
order has been issued today by Magistrate
Baligeya Moses Mufumbiro.
According to Muwema, Wizkid’s manager
Sunday Are was paid the full performance fee
of US$60,000, a brokerage fee of $5,000 and
$3,000 as per diem for the days Wizkid’s
group was going to stay in Uganda.
“Our client then incurred substantial expenses
in booking and re-booking flights, hotel, venue,
advertising and promotions for the concert,
which expenses grossed over $300,000. In the
meantime, more than 25,000 Ugandans paid
for tickets in advance in anticipation of the
Concert.
“To our client’s dismay and utter shock, Wizkid
and his troupe did not show up for the Concert
despite assurances were made up to the very
last minute. This misconduct by the accused
has not only damaged the name and reputation
of our client.”.
In response, the court issued the arrest warrant
against both Wizkid and his manager Are.
