Leading DMW music act, Mayorkun, has denied allegations that have been trailing the conclusion of his recent concert held in Ibadan, Oyo State.

According to an official statement made available to Showtime, contrary to reports that the concert was characterized by insecurity, violence, assault, rape, and other unfounded allegations, adequate arrangement was provided for full protection of everybody who attended the concert.

The statement which reads in part says; “Mayorkun’s Concert, which was widely acclaimed by attendees as the best music concert to be held in the city of Ibadan was very well managed with experienced security officials in place, despite the over 13-thousand people in attendance. We will like to disassociate ourselves from news of violence going round as no such thing happened at the event. It was a free and fair event”.

“Adequate security was provided for all media houses and journalists with access tags at the event, and no violence was experienced by any journalist or pressman at the event. We are aware of a report by Instablog that a reporter was manhandled by security operatives.

The reporter who was confirmed drunk attempted to forcibly gain entrance into the artistes’ green room without authorized access and was prevented by security operatives.

Reports by the aggrieved reporter are calculated attempts to bring the event into disrepute. This isolated event is misrepresentation of the concert which otherwise was very peaceful and violence free.”
