Contrary to reports that Victor Essiet of the Mandators fame was kidnapped over the weekend, Aproko247 has reliably learnt that the musician, who was very popular in the 90s, was actually arrested by the police.
Our reporter gathered that Victor was apprehended over his failure to honour an agreement he signed in 2014 to pay up a debt he owed.
The singer was arrested last year on allegations bordering on fraud and obtaining by pretence. He was accused of fraudulently collecting N15 million from one Maurice Etim.
Aproko247 further gathered that after signing an undertaking to pay up the money in installments, Victor disappeared into thin air, which forced Maurice to involve the police again in the case.
He was reportedly nabbed in his hometown in Nsit Ubium, Akwa Ibom State, where he went for the funeral of his late brother.
He was bundled to Lagos and kept in custody of Lagos State Police Command in Ikeja.
