EFCC to arraign Mercy Chinwo’s manager on Valentine’s Day

By Jeffrey Agbo

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will on Friday, February 14, 2025
arraign Ezekiel ThankGod, the business manager of gospel artiste, Mercy Chinwo.

Mr Ezekiel, popularly known as EezeeTee, will face charges before Justice Alexander Owoeye of a Federal High Court in Lagos over alleged financial exploitation of his client.

Last week, the judge issued a bench warrant against the music producer following an ex parte order filed by the lawyer to EFCC, Bilikisu Buhari.

But the case could not be heard on Friday, January 24, 2025, following an appeal by his team of lawyers led by Monday Ubani (SAN), who pleaded with the court to pick a new date due to inadequate preparation.

Ubani, who said his client Ezekiel was unaware of the summons, also assured the court of voluntary appearance of his client in court.

Meanwhile, an independent audit firm, Pearson Consulting, has allegedly uncovered the diversion of $264,000 belonging to a gospel artiste, Minister Judykay, by EezeeTee.

The revelation came through an audit report produced after a thorough review of financial records.

The findings, forwarded to the EFCC for further investigation, have become a key component of the fraud case against EezeeTee, who is already embroiled in other allegations involving artists under his record label.
