Famous Nigerian singer, songwriter and instrumentalist, Harrison Tare Okiri, better known by his stage name, Harrysong, has recanted his allegation that music executive, Soso Soberekon, attempted to kill him.
The singer was arrested on Tuesday, at the Lagos Airport, immediately after landing in Nigeria. Following a petition sent to the Inspector General of Police IGP, Usman Baba-Alkali, by Nigerian music producer and artist manager, Soso Soberekon.
In a fresh video on his Instagram page after his release from Police custody on Saturday, Harrysong said, “About the video that was trending last week that some group of boys made an attempt on my life, yes it was true. It was a group of boys that were misled, I now have clarity, it wasn’t Soso who sent them.”
On Tuesday, the singer was arrested at the airport in Lagos over the matter but has since been released. Soberekon said Harrysong has apologised to him.
Harrysong had earlier in a recent interview alleged that Soso was his enemy and wanted him killed in Port Harcourt.
Responding to the allegation, Soberekon on his Instagram page slammed Harrysong with a lawsuit. And demanded a retraction of the statement, an apology and N500,000,000 in compensation.
Speaking further, Soberekon said, “As a matter of fact, I always mind my business, stay in my lane and put smiles on people’s faces. It is very disappointing that Harrysong will make such a false, reckless and defamatory statement.”
