Nigerian content creator Kolu, an associate of CarterEfe has reportedly been arrested in the United Kingdom following an alleged altercation with immigration officers.
The incident was disclosed by popular Nigerian musician Candy Bleakz in a video shared on her Instagram page. According to the rapper, Kolu had traveled to the UK under her sponsorship.
Candy Bleakz explained that the situation unfolded while they were preparing to board a return flight to Nigeria. She said Kolu was unable to locate his passport at the airport, prompting the need to inform immigration authorities.
However, she alleged that the matter escalated when Kolu engaged in a confrontation with officials instead of calmly addressing the issue.
“I already explained to Kolu that he is going to the UK in my name, and if he does not come back to Nigeria, it is going to have a huge effect on me,” she said.
Recounting the events, the singer stated that she urged him to remain calm and search thoroughly for the missing document.
“So we wanted to board a flight, but Kolu couldn’t find his passport. I said, “Okay, Kolu, just calm down and find everywhere for your passport.” “Okay, you didn’t see it; we needed to communicate this to the immigration, but instead Kolu started fighting,” she added.
She further revealed that Kolu was subsequently taken to a police station and that she had been there since morning attempting to resolve the matter.
“I told Kolu to calm down; he did not listen. He thought it was Nigeria. He has been taken to the station. I have been at the station since morning trying to communicate with them because I don’t want them to return Kolu to Nigeria through deportation because it’s going to have a negative effect on his passport,” she said.
As of the time of filing this report, UK authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident.
