Scandal: Davido Issues Dud Cheque To Auto Dealer For Mercedes-Benz GLE 450
Popular Nigerian singer Davido issues dud Cheque to auto dealer for Mercedes-Benz GLE 450, you ask? Well, documents suggest so and according to the auto dealer, Mr. Anekwu Chika Valentine of Prestige Autonet Limited, he has already contracted a Lagos-law firm to assist him to recover the debt.
It’s understood that Davido who likes to parade himself as “Omo Baba Olowo,” issued the dud cheque for the purpose of paying the sum of N7.4million as a balance for a Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 he purchased. A letter of instruction addressed to the law firm of W.K Shittu and Co., stated that the law firm will take 10 per cent of the sum owed by Davido if it is recovered. Davido issued two Zenith Bank (account number 100424****) cheques of N10million and N1.4million respectively on February 10.
However, the latter, which apparently was to pay a part of the N7.4million was not honored by Zenith Bank, where the auto dealer is also a customer.
In Nigeria, giving a dud cheque is a criminal offense punishable by a two-year jail term.
