A brief scene of confusion broke out at the Federal High Court in Lagos on Thursday when gospel music promoter, ThankGod Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu, also known as Eezee Tee, quickly left the courtroom to avoid the waiting press.
Eezee Tee, a well-known figure in Nigeria’s gospel music industry, is currently facing allegations of illegally converting royalties meant for his former artist, Mercy Chinwo.
Chinwo had accused Eezee Tee of diverting about $345,000 in music royalties that rightfully belonged to her, a claim that has sparked public interest and controversy.
As the case resumed on Thursday, journalists from several media outlets gathered outside the courtroom, hoping to get reactions from both parties. But to their surprise, Eezee Tee suddenly bolted from the courtroom, dodging cameras and avoiding any media interaction.
The unusual exit left reporters scrambling to capture the moment, adding more drama to an already heated case.
The court has adjourned the matter to May 14, when further proceedings are expected to continue, keeping fans and industry watchers eager for updates on the high-profile dispute.
