The Federal government has secured the release of popular singer and songwriter, Oluwatobiloba Daniel aka Kizz Daniel, who was arrested in Tanzania after failing to show up for a paid concert in that country.
The Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, on Monday night, stated that the singer has been released.
Organisers of the Summer Amplified Show arrested the Buga crooner for failing to perform at the well-publicised show on Sunday night.
Fans of the singer were forced to wait until 6 am for a live performance but Kizz Daniel was absent.
The singer was reported to have arrived in the country earlier but refused to perform because of unavailability of his costume.
A viral video on Twitter shows the singer wearing a black hoodie while being escorted into a Tanzanian police van.
But while reacting to a tweet on Monday night from a twitter user pleading for FG’s intervention, Abike clarified that: “KD has been released”.
“His legal team will however report back to the police tomorrow while he will subsequently return back to Nigeria.”
