Iyanya Mbuk, Nigeria’s R&B singer better known as
Iyanya, has reacted to the car theft allegations against him, saying Nigerians
“like bad news.”
Iyanya was arraigned
before Mobolanle Okikiolu-Ighile of the Igbosere high court by the Police
Special Fraud Unit (PSFU), Ikoyi, for allegedly stealing a car.
The PSFU had charged the 33-year-old singer for the offense,
which he was said to have committed in September 2018, after filing the
one-count charge against him back in March 2019.
Reacting to the controversy on Friday, Iyanya took to
Twitter to say that Nigerians seem to have an inclination for “bad news” — as
fans opened up on how shocked they were on learning of the development.

Iyanya’s arraignment had come after the presiding judge
threatened to invoke the court’s power since the singer had caused the case to
be adjourned six times on account of his absence.
It was alleged that he “dishonestly converted to his use” a
company’s black Toyota SUV in an offense punishable under section 285(10) of
Lagos’ 2011 criminal law.
While Iyanya, who pleaded not guilty to the charge, is the
latest Nigerian singer to be arraigned on car theft claims, Naira Marley,
controversial street crooner, had faced similar allegations.
