“I am from Abeokuta and they are taking care of me there. I am not a thief; I help people around me without even looking at their background.”

The singer appealed to the Dapo Abiodun-led government and the general public to forgive him.

He said: “Nigeria, this is when I need you people’s help. There’s no place like home, but evil people full home. Why only me? Why do I have issues in Nigeria? I do music for a living, I’m not a thief, I don’t kill people. I wait for my blessing. I bless people too. I don’t make trouble. People look for my trouble, I’m a superstar.

“God forgive me if I do any bad. After God, na government. They set me up with the government. I don’t have any issues with the government or police. Some people just came to my house, telling me to pack out. I’m not a criminal. I’m not feeling fine. And I’m afraid. I don’t want them to lock me up. I’m going through pain all over my body. I’m a Federal Government liability. I didn’t go to school, I’m a fashion designer.”
