After the show, reports hit the media that a member of his band allegedly shot a student of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) identified as Azeez Kofoworola from the department of Business Education.
Reacting to the reports, K1 says, ‘I wish to state that no such incident happened throughout the few hours we stayed at the community, at least to the best of my knowledge, such never happened. There was a good presence of security personnel of both police and soldiers at the venue which obviously will reinforce the fact that there would not be any act of thuggery or harassment at the event’.
He went on to add that, ‘the event was without rancour from about 3:30am on Sunday morning till about 6: 15am when we stopped performance. The traditional paramount ruler of the community and a host of other distinguished dignitaries were all in attendance so i’m shocked to hear the news of any shooting’.
‘After the show I spent some time to take pictures as requested by some students and my fans before we eventually left the town. I headed straight to my residence in Ijebu Ode where I stayed for about seven hours before I finally returned to Lagos to catch a flight to London. I was shocked thereafter when i started to receive calls from well meaning friends and family concerning a story in The Punch Newspaper this morning that I was wanted in connection with shooting of a student at Ago Iwoye. I will like to state categorically that I was not aware of such and neither my band was involved in any fracas that could have led to the breakdown of law and order. Finally, I want to implore the highest authority of the police to begin proper investigation into the matter to unravel the truth nothing but the truth’.
