Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer, Harrison Tare Okiri, popularly known as Harrysong, has been arrested and detained by the Lagos State Police Command.
The Raggae Blues crooner was arrested on Tuesday in Lagos shortly after landing at the Muritala International Airport after returning from a trip, following petition sent to the Inspector General of Police IGP, Usman Baba-Alkali, by Nigerian music producer and artist manager, Soso Soberekon.
Harrysong had in an interview called Soso Soberekon his enemy and wouldn’t mind having him killed in Port Harcourt.
In his reaction, Soberekon on his Instagram page slammed Harrysong with a lawsuit. And demanded a retraction of the statement, an apology and N500,000,000 in compensation.
According to Sobrekon he has always minded his business.
He said “As a matter of fact, I always mind my business, stay in my lane and put smiles on people’s faces. It is very disappointing that Harrysong will make such a false, reckless and defamatory statement.”
The Lagos Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed the arrest and said the artiste is being interrogated by the Police.
