Nigerian producer and music executive Don Jazzy has cleared the air on a police case he faced in the United Kingdom (UK) during the early days of his career.
His former associate, Bankulli, had revealed at a recent
event that Don Jazzy evaded the law in the UK after being involved in an
accident that attracted police attention.
Bankulli claimed that Don Jazzy removed the vehicle’s plate
number and fled after the police arrived at the accident scene.
“I refused to put a particular story about Don Jazzy in the
Afrobeats documentary. Because Don Jazzy was trying to survive in London, he
had an accident and the car got destroyed. Don Jazzy abandoned the car. He was
coming from a show and he fell asleep while driving and crashed his car.
“He left the car, removed the plate number and ran away.
Why? Because you would pay more to carry the car away from there than to repair
it. But look at Jazzy now, he has fleets of cars,” Bankulli said.
Reacting to Bankulli’s revelation, an X user berated him,
expressing fear that the case could be reopened if Don Jazzy were to visit the
UK now that his former associate had made the incident public.
“With this reckless talk from Bankulli, I really hope Don
Jazzy isn’t planning a trip to London. They can reopen a 20-year-old case!,”
the X user wrote.
In response, Don Jazzy urged his fans not to panic,
stressing that he did not evade the police as Bankulli claimed.
He explained that he waited for the police, who gave him a
breathalyser to determine if he was drunk. Despite confirming that he wasn’t,
the police impounded his car.
Don Jazzy said he abandoned the car with the authorities
because the fine to retrieve it was higher than the car’s value.
“Lol no panic. It’s been so long, so he doesn’t remember the
story exactly. I actually waited for the police. They came and gave me a
breathalyser to determine if I was drunk. I wasn’t, but the car was impounded.
The fine to collect the car back was more than the cheap car, so I left it with
them lol,” he wrote.
