Nigerian comedian, Chukwuemeka Emmanuel, popularly known as Oga Sabinus, has tendered a public apology after he was accused of defrauding the students of Oko polytechnic in Anambra State.
On Friday, a video emerged showing angry students destroying an event venue and assaulting a show promoter over the comedian’s failure to show up.
The show promoter, Crazylegs called out the skit maker on Instagram, stating that Sabinus had scammed him after being paid N2million for his performance.
Crazylegs wrote, “Please, guys help me. Tag any blog for me. Sabinus had scammed me. He did not show up for my show that I paid him for.”
Sharing receipts of payment, he added, “Evidence of payments and flights. Please you all should come to my resume. Fans are destroying my properties.”
Reacting in a video shared on his Instagram story, the comedian apologized to the aggrieved students, explaining that his health issues prevented him from attending the event.
“Good morning my Oko people. I know say una dey vex for me. Abeg make una no vex. I was supposed to come to Oko yesterday for the show with Crazylegs.
“Something happened. My health was so bad. I just avoided the whole thing. I was being just afraid of make I no break down for road,” Sabinus said.
The skit maker promised to come for the event before the first week of December, as he also offered to refund the money if Crazylegs asked for it.
KanyiDaily recalls that Sabinus had recently filed N1billion lawsuit against Peak Milk for using his intellectual property without permission.
