Threatened star Duncan Mighty
On Friday, October 25, 2019 Duncan Wene Mighty Okechukwu, popularly known as Duncan Mighty set the social media agog when he posted on his Instagram page how he was receiving death threats from different quarters.
The 36 years old Rivers State born singer and music producer had pointed accusing finger at the former governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha asthe brain behind the death threats.
“Your Excellency because you directly paid in public. While the job was going smoothly immediately after you paid. They said you sent them to bring back money to you,” he had captioned the post.
But there is a new twist to this hullabaloo.
Emerging facts have it that the music star actually collected the sum of N11 million from the senator to produce an album of a new artiste but the African R&B crooner disappeared into thin air after collecting the money and was later arrested and released on self recognition.
This was revealed in a press interview granted some hours ago by the new artiste at the center of the drama by name Amaechi Perfect Gideon otherwise known as M2.
“The governor promised to help me and even went as far as sponsoring my education and he tried helping me get a record deal. He spoke to Phyno, but he said he wasn’t signing any artist at that time, we reached out to Eric Many as well, but we couldn’t reach a deal and finally, we reached out to Duncan Mighty and he agreed to the deal. Duncan Mighty agreed to take 11million naira from the governor as the fee needed for him to push my brand, record songs and all. So we signed the deal in Imo State on December 18th 2018," he narrated in the said interview.
“Since then, Duncan Mighty disappeared and refused to take my calls or speak with anyone of the governor’s aides. We kept trying to reach him but all to no avail. So about 3months back, he sneaked into Imo State for a show, he didn’t post about it on social media but we got wind of it so we went to his hotel and got him arrested with the police. He knelt down and started begging us and he was allowed to go.
“After that, he told me to follow him to Port Harcourt and when we got to his studio, he flipped again and even pointed a gun at me at his studio that’s behind UNIPORT. I narrowly escaped that night. He was later arrested and detained for 3 days at the Imo State CID before he was bailed on self-recognition. Since then, he disappeared again and refused to take our calls until he came on social media to seek sympathy,” concluded the new artiste.
