The tweet reads:

“We are presently engaging our Mission and see what can be done. We will keep the public posted with our investigation. Thank you,” the Commission added.

Giving an update afterwards, NiDCOM said: “Kizz Daniel has been released. His legal team will, however, report back to the police tomorrow while he will subsequently return to Nigeria.”

Although no official statement was issued by the authorities, it was learnt that the arrest was not unconnected with the singer’s failure to perform at an event in the country.
