The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed a three-count charge against music promoter Eezee Tee over alleged theft of $443,371.
The anti-graft agency is accusing Tee, born Onyedikachukwu Nwokeabia, of stealing the money belonging to gospel artistes Mercy Chinwo and Judith ‘Judikay’ Kanayo.
The singers were formerly signed to his record label Eezee Conceptz.
The charges, filed at the special offences court in Ikeja, Lagos, accused Eezee Tee and his record label of fraudulently converting the funds — comprising $112,985, $260,494, and $69,892 — for personal use.
The alleged offences violate Sections 280(1)(a) and 287 of Lagos State’s Criminal Law (2011).
Eezee Tee’s legal troubles began after Chinwo accused him of contract fraud. She alleged that he secretly replaced an original 2017 agreement with a different contract without her consent.
Chinwo further claimed that the promoter diverted approximately $345,000 from her digital music earnings and event proceeds without proper accounting or remittance of her share.
In a separate case, Judikay accused Tee in January of withholding £800,000 from her earnings.
The EFCC had earlier charged the record label owner with financial exploitation in connection with these allegations.
While the EFCC has formally pressed charges, a date for Eezee Tee’s arraignment has not yet been set. The case continues to unfold as more details emerge.
