Iyanya Mbuk, a singer, was charged with stealing an automobile at the Igbosere High Court in Lagos.
The ‘Kukere crooner’ had pled not guilty to the charge and was released to his lawyer, who promised to bring him back to court for his next hearing.
Meanwhile, the singer seems unperturbed by the suit filed by his former allies, The Temple Management Company Limited.
In the charge sheet marked, LD/9024C/2019, the musician was accused of converting a vehicle to his own.
According to what Iyanya told Punch, his legal team would release a statement to address the issue.
He said, “My lawyers have advised me not to say anything about the matter. We’ll release a statement when we are ready.
“The case is in court and I can’t talk about it. Only my lawyers can talk about it. It’s a legal matter. You’ll hear from me at the end of the day but I have to follow my lawyer’s instruction.”
