Singer Dammy Krane’s family has finally reacted release an official press statement on his arrest which happened over the weekend. Read below:
“AND THIS SHALL PASS: ☆DAMMY KRANE’S FAMILY OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE .
As
an artiste, promoters book your hotel stays and often buy your
destination tickets. It’s never once crossed our hearts as a performing
entertainment family, to have to verify that the sources of bookings are
legitimate. And please, keep in mind that we’ve been in the industry
for almost 15 years. Then came the unfortunate past Friday, when Dammy
Krane got arrested trying to board a flight from Maimi to Washington:
Maryland. His ticket and hotel bookings were fraudulently purchased by
the next show promoter (s). And because of Dammy Krane’s fame, all
accusatory hell, broke loose.
We thank God for His goodness and the great spirit of truth. He will
have his day in court to clear his name. He will give his personal press
release shortly l, however, have decided to speak up against
insinuations of fraudulency and grand theft. Dammy is a truly gentle and
honest citizen of our planet and remains a good ambassador for not just
the music industry, but Nigeria as a whole.
I also will like to seize this rare opportunity to warn all promoters,
entertainers, the music industry, the performing arts world & all
travel-prone individuals to , from now on;
1.) Buy your tickets yourself.
2.) Ensure by prior verification that your ticket and hotel reservations match the purchaser’s info.
How? By declining emergency arrangements that do not give up to 24 to 48
hours to allow you call the airlines and hotels for verifications.
Remember to always give the option for promoters or show organizers to
buy all bookings and must accompany with the booking profiles: the names
used for bookings, and phone numbers must match your designated or
named offers, or they will need to send the cash in their verifiable
names to your business account.
It hurts so bad that fellow Nigerians will do such a damaging act to
another, knowing that the repercussions could be so devastating. We are
aware of the implications at hand and pray for your faith in our purity,
even as we beg for your patience to let the law take its’ course,
before jumping to unfair conclusions.
We remain humbly grateful for all the innumerable support and overwhelming show of love to his family.
We thank you. “
