Fuji music star, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal popularly known as K1 de Ultimate, has said that his son, Sultan, is a member of the group of nine Nigerians reportedly arrested for a $2 million fraud in the United States of America but that he is not a fraudster as claimed.
K1 had through his publicist Kunle Rashidi who is also the publisher of City Rovers, an online platform, tried to dispel the story which is still trending on facebook saying that his son, Sultan, was arrested in the U.S but not for fraud. The release, however, maintained that there is a likely mix-up.
According to a social media post published on Saturday, December 22, 2018, Sultan Omogbadebo Anifowoshe is among the defendants in a criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in Chicago 18 days prior.
Sultan is reportedly one of the characters illegally dealing in “romance scams” and “mystery shopper” tricks.
He got nabbed in a crime investigation named Operation Gold Phish according to the post.
His dad, KWAM 1, had revealed that he had been released on bail and awaiting a court date.
Below is the statement made available by K1’s publicist, Rashidi:
“Our attention has been drawn to the news circulating that Sultan, K1’s son, was arrested alongside five other people in the US over two million Dollars fraud.
“There is no doubt that he was among those that were arrested but what is however not true is that he is a fraudster. We can confidently say that he was not in anyway involved in the crime, which explains the reason why he was the only person that was released on bail.
“At present, Sultan is back at home waiting for the next date of the case where we believe he will be set free eventually.”
