The spotlight had beamed on the 27-year-old musician in April 2020 when he was detained with Funke Akindele after the Nollywood actress hosted a house party that he attended, despite Lagos’ lockdown measures at the time.
He was later also convicted and fined N200,000 for flouting the COVID-19 guidelines at an Abuja drive-in concert.
