Tanzanian police have released
Nigerian singer, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, popularly known as Kizz Daniel,
from their custody hours after his arrest.
The internet went agog on
Monday after reports emerged that the 28-year-old was arrested by security
agents in the East African country.
It was reported that the Buga
singer was arrested for failing to perform at the Warehouse, Old Nextdoor
Arena in Tanzania, on Sunday night, as part of his Afro Classic World Tour.
Kizz Daniel’s absence at the
concert venue stirred anger and saw fans damaging part of the concert arena.
As a result, the organizers
had Kizz Daniel and some of his crew members arrested by policemen from their
hotel as a result of the no-show.
Chairman, Nigerians in
Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa has, however, confirmed in a
terse statement on Monday night, via Twitter, that the singer has been freed
from the custody of the Tanzanian police.
“He has just been released but
his lawyers will report to the station tomorrow. He should be home anytime
soon,” Dabiri tweeted in response to how the Nigerian Embassy in Tanzania
was assisting Daniel.
