Maleke
Popular Nigerian musician and comedian, Maleke Idowu Moye widely
known by his stage name, Maleke, is currently being treated at a police
hospital after he was reportedly attacked by some thugs in Benin City.
Maleke was reportedly beaten to a pulp and sustained various
injuries at the hands of thugs and miscreants. The musician alleged that
a bar owner had thrown a party the previous day and threw cash in the
air which caused a commotion.
So he went back there the following day to speak with them only for
the bar owner, Kevin Joshua, to descend on him with thugs, deflate his
tyres and rob him of close to $7,000 dollars paid to him for a show
abroad.
Kevin Joshua however claims Maleke’s claims are false and a
calculated attempt to drag his name in the mud, saying he never attacked
the comedian. He insists it was Maleke who stormed his bar with thugs
to disrupt his business and destroy his bar.

arrested.
