Embattled Nigerian artiste, Dammykrane, appeared in court on Monday for his bail hearing in the 9-count fraud charges leveled against him in the U.S.
The Amin crooner was in court with Chukwuebuka, his accomplice, who is claiming to be Dammykrane’s show promoter, and filed paperwork saying that he is indigent.
According to court source, the court looked at his papers and it was found that he had no money or property in any bank. He was thereby kept in jail till 22nd of June, 2017.
On his part, Dammykrane pleaded not guilty and paperwork was provided to his defense attorney, showing what police found on his phone. None of his family members or record label representative was in court today. .
Also, the court wants proof that the money to be paid for his bail, is from a honest source. The two suspects now have a new defense attorney, a free one from government, by the name Fan Li. Both accused are back in jail till their next hearing.
Meanwhile, an inside source confirmed that there is a big development in a federal court, coming soon, with new charges.
Details of the impending charges were not clear at press time but it looks like they are arising as a result of the same kind of fraud committed across state lines.
