Popular Nigerian singer Iyanya has been reportedly charged with car theft by the Police Special Fraud Unit (PSFU), Ikoyi, Lagos state.
According to a report by The Nation, the singer was dragged to court and arraigned before Justice Okikiolu-Ighile of an Igbosere High Court on Tuesday 4th February 2020.
The prosecution counsel, Mr Chukwu Agwu, alleged that the singer committed the offence sometime in September 2018, telling the court that the defendant allegedly dishonestly converted to his personal use, a Black Toyota Land Cruiser Prado SUV marked MAVINIY.
Mr Agwu told the court that the said vehicle belongs to Iyanya’s former management company, The Temple Management Company Ltd.
However, the singer pleaded not guilty after the charge was read to him. Justice Okikiolu-Ighile subsequently released him to his lawyer and adjourned the case to February 27 and March 17, for ruling on his bail application and commencement of trial.
Iyanya is now under the management of Mavin Records, owned by Don Jazzy.
