The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) has said that singer, Oluwatobiloba Anidugbe, popularly known as Kizz Daniel, has been released from police custody in Tanzania.
A video that went viral on social media on Monday showed the moment Tanzanian authorities arrested the singer.
In a video chat with Media personality, Daddy Freeze, a Nigerian show promoter that gave his name as Sampson Uwa said the Buga crooner refused to perform in a concert he spent over 300,000 dollars to organise despite arriving the country.
According to Mr. Uwa, Kizz Daniel said he can’t perform because the airline couldn’t bring his bag from Nigeria and his gold Chain is in the bag and he can’t go up on stage without the chain.
The organiser of the show said all plea to the singer to reconsider his decision failed after he improvised and also provided all the necessary requirements by the artist.
Reacting, NiDCOM, in a tweet, revealed that the singer was being held at Oyster Bay Police Station Civil Police in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
“We are presently engaging our Mission and see what can be done. We will keep the public posted with our investigation. Thank you,” the Commission added.
Giving an update, NiDCOM said, “Kizz Daniel has been released. His legal team will, however, report back to the police tomorrow while he will subsequently return to Nigeria.”
