BY TUTU\nORIADE\/ENTERTAINMENT REPORTER & CHUBA ADIOGBE\/JUDICIAL REPORTER,\nNaija Standard Newspaper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A NIGERIAN MUSICIAN, PRETTY\nOKAFOR who parades himself as President of Performing Musicians\nEmployers’ Association of Nigeria, PMAN, in the nation’s\nentertainment industry has been chided by the Nigerian Industrial\nCourt for laying claim to the leadership stool as the had been\ndisrobed as an ‘impostor’ based on the constitutionality of Nigerian\ncourt, as his fake official office located at 14a Fadeyi\nstreet, off Obafemi Awolowo way, Ikeja, Lagos had been served\nalready. <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okafor who has been\ndescribed by few security sources to be in hiding as men of Nigerian\nPolice Zone 2, Inspector General’s team, State Security Services had\nbeen making moves to have him arrested for parading himself as PMAN\nPresident in violation of valid, subsisting judgment of Court which\ndate back to 20th<\/sup> September 2017 amounting to CONTEMPT of\nCourt for which he is liable to be committed to prison, but he\n(Okafor) has gone into hiding. <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Suite No:\nNICN\/LA\/272\/2015 dated January 21, 2019 which reads: \u201cunless\nPretty Okafor obeys the judgment of paragraph 6 (III) of the Consent\nJudgment of Honorable Justice O.A. Obaseki-Osagahe, refrain himself\nfrom parading himself as a PMAN National officer, he’s guilty of\nContempt of the court.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirming this development\nRegistrar 1 in Nigerian Industrial Court of Nigeria, Olafolasade\nOpeyemi said: \u201cFurther take notice that the act of parading\nyourself as the President of PMAN contrary to the valid and\nsubsisting judgment of Court dated 20th<\/sup> September 2017\namounts to CONTEMPT of Court for which you will be liable to be\ncommitted to prison should you hold yourself out as the PMAN’s\nPresident henceforth.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than face the court,\nheed to court advise, Naija Standard<\/em> gathered that Okafor is\nstill holding himself out in Nigeria as PMAN President and he is\nstill being sought after by law enforcement agencies as three warrant\narrests are still outstanding on his head. <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Okafor alleged\nfew weeks ago in a press statement on social media that multiple,\naward-wining flutist, and former President of PMAN had been on\nforefront of staging a delegate conference in Lagos, which reads:\n<\/strong>\u201c<\/strong>Our\nattention is drawn to an information going around on social media\nabout PMAN hosting a Delegates Conference at a secret location in\nLagos on the 15th of January 2019, be advised that this information\nis false and it\u2019s illegal as the PMAN national working committee\nhas not approved such an event. Moreover, we learned from credible\nsources that this misinformation is being propagated by a former PMAN\nPresident TEEMAC ITSELI who is currently under criminal investigation\nfor diverting 8.5 Hectares of landed property awarded to PMAN by the\nFederal Government. PMAN members are advised not to regard the\nfalsehood, there will be no illegal delegates conference as the\nPolice Authority and other relevant security agencies have been\nnotified and alerted.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nreaction, Tee Mac said: \u201cHe is a fraudster and will vomit it out\nthe 100 million Naira he took fraudulently from companies! <\/strong>I\nam suing Pretty Okafor for<\/strong>\nlying, defamation. I am not a NEC member so I have no business in\norganizing any delegate meeting<\/strong>\nas he recently alleged. Those around him like Zaki, Sony Nneji and\nMuma Gee in Port Harcourt will also be liable because of association\nand conspiracy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
