Ayefele’s band boys disappear during US tour, refuse to come back to Nigeria
As gospel music styled secular
singer, Yinka Ayefele arrived the country Tuesday, following a six-week
musical tour of the United States, there appeared to be a ‘dent’ on the
emotion of the artiste, whose fulfilment of the concert was partially
shattered by the disappearance of three of his band boys.
The other members of the group arrived amidst cheers by fans, but one
could tell that
the leader of the band was worried; perhaps knowing the
credibility question the defection by the boys could pose to his
career. Reports say the ‘gospel tungba’ crooner, has written to the
United States Homeland Security to track and deport the three guys who
defected at the tail-end of the inter city concert.
The band left the country on September 2, performing at Washington, Maryland, Baltimore, New York, Atlanta, Houston and Dallas.
In a mail sent to the US agency, Ayefele urged the department to look
for the defectors and act accordingly, so as to serve as a lesson to
others.
The defectors, according to a release signed by his publicist, David
Ajiboye, include Ojoyido Adegbenga Ezekiel (Keyboardist), Solomon
Olugbenga Motimoke (Vocalist) and Olusola Kayode Isaac (vocalist).
“While Olusola Kayode Isaac defected at the LaGuardiala Airport, New
York on Monday, 14th October on his way from Houston with three other
members of the band, Ojoyido Adegbenga was said to have disappeared from
the group at the Howard Johnson Inn on Rockaway Boulevard, New York on
Tuesday, 15th October. The third man was Solomon Motimoke (Yatty), who
left the band while still at Washington DC on 11th October,” the
statement read.
