The owner of Eric Manny records, Okwudili Umenyiora, has reportedly been arrested by the police Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Alagbon Lagos for allegedly threatening to kill Runtown.
According to an LIB report, the arrest was made this evening while the label boss was at the gym.
In a recent development, a statement by the label confirmed that Umenyiora was indeed taken to the police station for questioning following Runtown’s report of threat to his own life.
According to the statement:
“He (Dilly) was questioned, dropped his statement on claims by Runtown that his life was threatened which was found out to be false and Okwudili Umenyiora immediately returned home.”
“This is not the first time Runtown has accused his label boss of pulling a gun on him. In 2016, he pulled the same stunt and he’s repeating it again to create cheap publicity.”
“Every time the record label takes legal actions through a law court against Runtown through injunction for severe damages to the label, Runtown results to cheap stunts and bringing up issues like threat to life with a gun which is totally false.”
“This doesn’t take away the fact that there’s a Federal High Court Injunction against Runtown and as at the last court sitting on April 16th, he expected the case to be dismissed but it didn’t happen. That’s why he resorted to blackmail.”
“The label maintains that there was never a threat to Runtown’s life directly by Dilly Umenyiora or anyone affiliated to the label as explained to the Nigerian Police. Eric Many LTD since this case began has been civil and remain to civil by following through with the court injunction and never resort to violence or blackmail.”
