Popular fuji musician, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (KWAM 1) has denied the allegations by some of his band members of confiscating their passports.
He said: “Ayankunle and two others ran away from the band in England with their passports. And we returned to Nigeria. That was in the 90s.”
“After he ran away, information reaching us indicated that in the course of him overstaying, he gave his passport to someone to come and present it at the British embassy.”
“As of that time, they were not stamping visas on passport leaflets. The person successfully had his details changed to his while he maintained Ayankunle’s passport.”
“On scrutiny, the embassy detected and withheld the passport. Ayankunle’s passport is at the British High Commission.”
“This is someone who can barely read or write, and I facilitated a passport for him. I’m not the one who collected his passport. He has run away with it. How come the same passport is with me?”
“Is it possible for them to return to Nigeria without their passports? Of course, they all have their passports. If I had withheld their passports, Immigration or Customs would have questioned what I was doing with such a number of passports.”
“When I saw that their problems were becoming too much for me, I disbanded them and then regrouped again with new members. After them, another set of people has run away. It’s a common thing with band members.”
“I told him that only his house cannot be put up for demolition. Although I could easily ask Governor Seyi Makinde but he was sure that many houses would have been marked too for the benefits of the residents of the state.”
“So it was easier to just help him with whatever he could provide and the support of others.”
