Singer Harrysong arrested over attempted murder petition

Popular Nigerian singer, Harry Okiri, fondly called Harrysong, has been arrested by police operatives in Lagos State.

It was gathered that Harrysong was arrested in the early hours of Tuesday over a petition against him by music producer, Soso Soberekon.

Confirming the singer’s arrest, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said the musician was arrested over a petition against him.

The famous singer recently accused Soberekon of sending armed robbers to kill him in his home in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

He said Soberekon, who served as his best man during his wedding in Warri, Delta State in 2021, was not his friend and tried to kill him.
