Imo State Police command has released popular musician, Duncan Mighty, who was arrested for N11 million fraud on Saturday, December 14, 2019.
Duncan Mighty was rumored to have been kidnapped in Owerri by unknown gunmen in the early hours of yesterday.
However, police said that contrary to reports that the singer had been abducted, he was actually picked up by operatives of Imo state command over allegations of fraud.
According to Police, the arrest followed a petition written by an upcoming rap artist M2, who claimed that the Imo state Government led by Owelle Rochas Okorocha, through the office of the SA on Entertainment had entered into a deal with DUNCAN MIGHTY to manage, promote, arrange collaboration with other top artistes and sign M2 under YOUNG WEALTH record label owned by Duncan Mighty, as a result an agreement was reached with a fee of N11,000,000, which was paid to him.
However, since collecting the payment he refused to fulfill his own part of the deal.
On Sunday, December 15, 2019, Police Public Relations Officer, SP Orlando Ikeokwu, confirmed that Duncan Mighty has been released on bail to a reliable surety and to report back on a date next week.
