Nigeria’s reggae legend, Majek Fashek who is
currently being managed by A-Plus Entertainment, a record company that
rehabilitated him last year is hospitalised at the moment. He was
allegedly abducted recently by one of his friends who wanted to lure him into
signing concert deals outside the shores of the country.
The CEO of the outfit, Hajia Oluremi Dangaji
disclosed this ugly development to Showtime, during the week.
According to her, Majek who was due to drop his
latest album this week disappeared from his Gowon Estate apartment since last
December without traces. However, after futile efforts to trace his
whereabouts, the reggae legend resurfaced few days ago, looking haggard,
weak and pale.
Narrating Majek’s ordeal, Hajia who claimed that her company had spent
over N35 million to get the reggae master back on his track, said “This meeting
is meant to formally intimate you with my company’s project with superstar,
Majek Fashek whose latest album is finally ready for the market.
Unfortunately, just as we were getting ready for
the release scheduled for this month, we got a shocker during the past holidays
that he had been kidnapped and taken to an unknown destination by people
suspected to be enemies of progress.”
“While the nightmare lasted, Majek’s former
manager called to inform us that he was hospitalised in Lagos. But later, we
found out that he was whisked away by one of his friends, to Ghana, who wanted
to force him to sign concert deals outside the shores of the country without
the consent of his management company.”
Haija said, while in Ghana, Majek’s conscience
did not allow him to do the bidding of his captors, as he decided to return to
the country.
At the moment, she said, Majek has gone back
to his old lifestyle. “He has become a shadow of his old self, breaking bottles
and behaving very abnormal. In fact, he has not been himself since he returned
to the country. Right now, he is hospitalised. We are trying to stabilize
his condition. That’s why we deemed it fit to intimate you about the ugly
development,” Haija narrated.
Haija, a widely-travelled entrepreneur and philanthropist who
hails from Edo State has since resolved to resuscitate Majek’s dwindling music
career, as well as embarking on a musical tour of some European and American
cities.
