The police in Imo State has debunked the news that musician, Duncan Okechukwu popularly known as Duncan Mighty, was kidnapped.

In a post on Instagram, Duncan Mighty�s friend and billionaire club-owner, Cubana Chief Priest, had said, �He was beaten and abducted by the gunmen amid gunshots.�

But denying that claim, the police in Imo in a statement on Saturday by its spokesperson, Ikeokwu Godson, said the artiste was in fact arrested for fraud and was not kidnapped by anyone.

The statement reads, �Today 14/12/19, operatives of the command arrested popular music artiste, Duncan Mighty on an allegation of fraud.

�This followed a petition written by an upcoming rap artiste M2, who claimed that the Imo State Government under Rochas Okorocha, through the office of the SA on Entertainment, 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 N11m was paid to him.

�However, since collecting the payment, he refused to fulfill his own part of the deal.

�Sequel to the petition, the artiste was arrested and he affirmed having such agreement and collecting the fund.

�He said he can only refund the money if the contract was terminated. He was released on bail on self-recognisance.

�Consequently, a letter was reviewed by the representative of the former governor terminating the contract to enable him refund the money.

�Since then he absconded, and all efforts made to reach him proved abortive.

�In view of the above, a warrant of arrest was issued, that led to his arrest in the early hours of this morning.�
