Exclusive: Harrysong may be detained by police on Monday over alleged defamation

The Lagos Police may detain Nigerian music star Harrysong on Monday for allegedly defaming a well-known Nigerian musician.

According to sources, the police have been investigating a case of cyberstalking and the publication of defamatory matters in which Harrysong’s name featured prominently.

According to sources, there may be a connection between the defamation case and a popular music star who once partnered with Harrysong.

Harrysong requested to report to the National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC), Lagos Annex, on May 29, 2024, in an invitation letter that Per Second News obtained and signed by the Assistant Director of the Nigeria Police Force.

The letter stated that Harrysong’s attendance was required for an interview in relation to the investigation.

When contacted, Harrysong confirmed receipt of the invitation letter and stated that he would honour the police invitation.

“I have received the invitation letter, and I will be attending the interview as requested,” Harrysong said.

It is unclear at this time what specific allegations Harrysong is facing, but sources close to the investigation revealed that the detention on Monday is likely.

Harrysong and the popular music star, who is believed to be the alleged victim of defamation, had a highly publicized fallout in the past, which may be connected to the current investigation.

The police have yet to confirm the details of the case, but insiders have revealed that the investigation is ongoing and may lead to charges against Harrysong if evidence of defamation is found.
