The management of Nigerian musician Skiibii, has released a press release in reaction to allegations of theft made by his ex-girlfriend Dorcas Shola-Fapson (DSF).
DSF accused the singer of stealing from her while on vacation in Tanzania.
Recall that in a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Miss DSF revealed how she went on a double vacation with an undisclosed ex-boyfriend in Tanzania and how she was robbed while asleep.
According to DSF, she lost two phones, ATM cards, and some money while on vacation in Zanzibar. And while she didn’t mention any names, fans were able to deduce she was referring to Skiibii.
She said: “I want you to understand that I am not cr*. I had several bookings back to back and I decided we should go on vacation. We went to Zanzibar and I bought his tickets. I had a drink and slept off. When I woke up, I noticed that my phone, laptop, Rolex, cards, N10,000 and everything valuable that I came with was gone.
“I am not a heavy sleeper and for someone to take all my valuables without me noticing, was weird.
“A day later that watch he said was stolen, I saw it on his wrist.”
In the press release, Skibii’s lawyer stated that the trip was funded by Miss DSF who took the musician on a birthday trip to Zanzibar.
The release indicated that Skiibii also lost some of his possessions to the theft. His two diamond necklaces, one rose gold Cartier wrist watch, 4 diamond rings, one iPhone, and some amount of money were stolen.
Skiibii’s lawyer stated that the musician remains a law abiding citizen and he will be seeking redress for the defamatory statement in a court of law.
