The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Friday withdrew the arrest warrant against Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu Thankgod, manager of gospel musician Mercy Chinwo.

WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu, the estranged manager of the gospel singer is currently at loggerheads with the later over fraud allegations.

Chinwo had alleged that Onyedikachukwu diverted her $345,000.

While a Federal High Court in Lagos had ordered Onyedikachukwu’s arrest over the diversion claims.

This followed a motion filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), accusing Onyedikachukwu of diverting funds and withholding royalties from Chinwo’s digital music platforms and event earnings.

The commission however on Friday has applied to withdraw the arrest warrant following a request by its lawyer, Mrs. Bilikisu Buhari.
