Information getting to Newsmen has it that Omunamo crooner; 2Shotz allegedly defrauded some students of Lead City University, Ibadan to the tune of 150,000 naira.
According to an e-mail sent to Newsmen from a source, 2Shotz was alleged to have collected the money to honour an event at the university but abandoned the show after being provided with what he asked them to get him.
A copy of the e-mail sent to us is presented below with some proofs of the transaction between the two parties.
This incidence happened on the 21st of May 2012. An undisclosed name contacted 2shotz via twitter to be a part of a fashion show called “FashionMIX” to be held on the 24th of May 2012. After the brief conversation, 2shotz asked the organizers to pay the sum of 100,000 on the 22nd May 2012 before 10am to seal the deal.
The team complied; they paid the money in full (100,000) to 2shotz Zenith bank account before 10am that morning.
On the 23rd was the agreed date to leave Lagos for Ibadan where the event was being held, 2shotz asked the organizers come pick him up at his house: 13 Sobo Siffre Street, Arowojobe estate, Mende, Maryland, near suya spot:
By 3pm the organizers of the event arrived at 2shotz house to pick him up, he then said he’s coming with two extra persons, he’s PA and an artiste with the name Ruffcoin.
We provided the car “rover salon car” (4 doors) after a while 2shotz entered the car and they drove out, in less than 10mins he said the car doesn’t have an air conditioner, that we should get another car.
Without fail, we got a SIENA SPACE BUS, 2shotz and his team refused to join the car and used the team “this industry na parkaging, we gats enter car with AC” they now said for them to show up, we must pay the sum of 50,000 extra, They called this charge: (The Driving Inconvenience Charge).
After a long deliberation and argument, 2shotz then said ok, the organizers should give him 30,000 instead of the 50,000.
The time was already past 6pm, while the other event crew in a bus had left since 3pm, so we had no choice than to leave Lagos without 2shotz, which made the organizer spent an extra 10,000 which wasn’t budgeted for.
The follow day the organizer went back to Lagos to pick 2shotz (24th May 2012) which was the event day, 2shotz and his team arrived by 12pm, leaving the organizer another un-budgeted expense of 16,000.
Immediately on his arrival, he was escorted to his hotel suite (2 rooms chaplet), shortly 2shotz requested for 6 girls and drinks, in less than one hour all he asked for was provided for him and his team.
Event was scheduled for 6pm, 2shotz didn’t show up, as at about 10pm one of the organizer went ahead to check up on him, 2shotz was drunk and asleep with his team and girls.
The following morning he woke up and requested 8,000 for his cab fare back to Lagos.
The job 2shotz was paid for wasn’t achieved or was in a bit supported by him.
The students of lead city university request a re-fund and sound this as a warning to Nigerian Artiste not to engage in fraud.
