'I Didn't Snitch on Naira Maley & Zlatan' - Ruggedman

Ruggedman has publicly denied the allegations that he snitched on Naira Marley, which led to the singer’s arrest by EFCC.

Stating clear points in a new press statement, Ruggedman stated that he had no hand in Naira Marley’s arrest as speculated by many.

His statement reads in part;

I have read and heard all sorts of comments pertaining to the Naira Marley case and seen the misinformation making the rounds which is quite unfortunate to say the least. I do not know Naira Marley personally, the same way I do not know the over 300 Nigerians I have gotten justice for against police brutality. I do it because it is who I am. All I did was caution a young artist, who has influence, against making utterances about an issue that by global standard is considered a crime. I believe correcting this was the way to go as an elder, but got insulted for this even by those being misled.

I hereby state categorically that I had nothing to do with his arrest. We all must recall that he glorified fraud on a public platform where security agencies like the Police, NDLEA and EFCC are also on. I am sure they saw his posts and captions the same way we all did. I, however, was the one that cautioned him. I guess this was what led all the darts and arrows my way as a literal mortal retribution to my person.
