Nigerian singer, Skiibii has broken his silence after his ex-girlfriend, Dorcas Fapson accused him of stealing all her valuables during their vacation in Zanzibar, Tanzania.
KanyiDaily recalls that Fapson recently accused Skiibii of ‘drugging’ her and stealing her valuables including two phones, laptops, credit cards, Rolex watch, and cash.
The actress also suspected that the singer was the person who deleted all the photos and videos she took during their vacation which she posted on her Snapchat page.
Reacting to the allegations, Skiibii’s record label, More Grace Music World, issued a press release to address Fapsons’s claims that he allegedly stole from her.
Skiibii’s management revealed that he had replaced Fapson’s stolen iPhone with a new one, and had earlier bought her a MacBook pro laptop which she didn’t take to the trip.
The management noted that the singer will be seeking redress for the defamatory statements made against him by the estranged lover in the court of law.
The statement reads, “The label has been inundated by messages and telephone phone calls from friends and well-wishers regarding an interview (“the interview”), granted by one Dorcas Shola Fapson (aka Ms DSF)- the estranged lover of our artist, Mr. Abbey Elias (aka Skiibii).
“In the interview, the estranged lover made inferences to the fact that she was robbed while on vacation with her ex-boyfriend. Specifically, she stated that her mobile phone, laptop and other valuables were stolen, while she and her ex-boyfriend wereasleep at their resort in Zanzibar, Tanzania.
“Whilst the above matter has been referred to our lawyers for appropriate review and action, we wish to state for the records that;

“f. Upon their return to Lagos, Skiibii bought a new iPhone for his estranged lover to replace her stolen phone.
“g. Prior to the trip, Skiibii had gotten his estranged lover a new MacBook Pro laptop, which she did not travel with, and as such, it was her old laptop that was stolen. Accordingly, there was no need for Skiibii to replace this item.
“Please remain assured that Skiibii is a law-abiding citizen and he will be seeking redress for the defamatory statements made by the estranged lover in the court of law,” the statement added.
