Dammy Krane To Be Arraigned Over Alleged Threat, Cyber-Bullying

Popular musician, Johnson Oyindamola, popularly known as Dammy
Krane, is set to be arraigned by the police on Monday.

The singer will be arraigned on three counts bordering on threat
to life, defamation, and conduct likely to cause a breach of
peace.

A copy of the charge sheet obtained by Punch newspaper showed
that the Afropop singer would be arraigned on three counts before
an Igbosere Magistrate Court in Lagos.

According to the court document marked B/56/2019, the musician
threatened the lives of staff members of betting company, Merrybet
Gold Limited, on July 25, 2019, and also released a song in which
he accused the firm of breach of contract.

The act is said to be in contravention of sections 301, 412 and
168 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2015.

Our correspondent learnt that the musician got into trouble
after a sport betting company, Merrybet Gold Limited, wrote a
petition to the police accusing the musician of threats and cyber
bullying.

The musician was said to have attended a game show sponsored by
the betting company but lost.

However, Dammy Krane was said to have demanded some money for
appearing on the show. The firm disagreed, insisting that the sum
was only given to winners.

The embittered musician subsequently went on Cool FM radio where
he said the betting firm owed him money and breached a contractual
agreement

The musician was also accused of conspiring with others at large
to conduct himself in a manner likely to cause breach of peace and
threat to life in contravention of Section 412 of the Criminal Law
of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2015.

Dammy Krane was also alleged to have threatened public peace
when he posted an audio and video message on Cool FM 96.9 in
contravention of Section 168(d) of the state’s criminal law.

The charges read in part, “That you, Johnson Hunga Oyindamola
and others at large on the 29th day of July, 2019, at Cool FM in
the Lagos magisterial district did conspire amongst yourselves to
commit felony to wit: Conduct likely to cause breach of peace and
threat to life and thereby committed an offence punishable under
Section 412 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State of Nigeria,
2015.”

Another charge read, “That you, Johnson Hunga Oyindamola and
others at large on the same date, time and place in the
aforementioned magisterial district did threaten the life of the
staff of Merrybet Gold Limited and thereby committed an offence
punishable under Section 301 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State of
Nigeria, 2015.”

Dammy Krame who was previously signed to 2baba’s Hypertek
Records is not a stranger to controversies and scandals.

On June 19, 2017, he was arrested in Miami, U.S for credit card
fraud.

His details were also updated onto the US jail base website.

According to a report published by Miami News Times at the time,
he used a bogus card to book a private jet flight to Washington,
D.C.

When the authorities searched him, they found seven false credit
cards in his wallet.

He was released from jail in Miami after meeting his bail
conditions, set at $7,500.

The 25-year-old popstar rose to prominence in 2012 after his
single ”My Darling” became a hit.
