Dammy
Krane's mother, Elizabeth Adeola Oshodi, has issued an official
statement on his arrest for theft, fraud and grand theft in Maimi, US. The
singer was on Friday, 2nd of June, arrested for grand theft
allegations, credit card fraud, and identity theft. He is currently
being held in jail at the Miami Dade County Corrections as he awaits to
meet his bond requirement.
In a statement
issued through her Facebook account, the singer's mother claimed that
Dammy Krane's flight ticket and hotel bookings were fraudulently
purchased by a show promoter before he got arrested while trying to
board a flight from Maimi to Washington.
In the
statement, she also said the singer will clear his name in court and
advised all artistes to purchase their ticket by themselves to avoid a
similar incident.
Read her full statement below..
As
an artiste, promoters book your hotel stays and often buy your
destination tickets. It's never once crossed our hearts as a performing
entertainment family, to have to verify that the sources of bookings are
legitimate. And please, keep in mind that we've been in the industry
for almost 15 years. Then came the unfortunate past Friday,
when Dammy Krane got arrested trying to board a flight from Maimi to
Washington: Maryland. His ticket and hotel bookings were fraudulently
purchased by the next show promoter (s). And because of Dammy Krane's
fame, all accusatory hell, broke loose.
We
thank God for His goodness and the great spirit of truth. He will have
his day in court to clear his name. He will give his personal press
release shortly l, however, have decided to speak up against
insinuations of fraudulency and grand theft. Dammy is a truly gentle and
honest citizen of our planet and remains a good ambassador for not just
the music industry, but Nigeria as a whole.
I
also will like to seize this rare opportunity to warn all promoters,
entertainers, the music industry, the performing arts world & all
travel-prone individuals to , from now on;
1.) Buy your tickets yourself.
2.) Ensure by prior verification that your ticket and hotel reservations match the purchaser's info.
How?
By declining emergency arrangements that do not give up to 24 to 48
hours to allow you call the airlines and hotels for verifications.
Remember to always give the option for promoters or show organizers to
buy all bookings and must accompany with the booking profiles: the names
used for bookings, and phone numbers must match your designated or
named offers, or they will need to send the cash in their verifiable
names to your business account.
It hurts so
bad that fellow Nigerians will do such a damaging act to another,
knowing that the repercussions could be so devastating. We are aware of
the implications at hand and pray for your faith in our purity, even as
we beg for your patience to let the law take its' course, before jumping
to unfair conclusions.
We remain humbly grateful for all the innumerable support and overwhelming show of love to his family.
We thank you.
