Police arrest Ruggedman over alleged dispute with PMAN.

Rapper Ruggedman has reportedly been arrested by the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, in Panti.

Ruggedman is currently being detained over an alleged dispute with the Performing Musicians Employers Association of Nigeria, PMAN.

Harrison Gwamnishu, a human rights activist, made this known on Thursday in a post on Instagram.

While drawing the attention of the public to the development, Harrison stated that the rapper is being maltreated by the police without investigation.

“No proper investigation has been concluded. He and others are being maltreated. I wish to draw the attention of Nigerians to what is going on,” he said.

It was previously reported that PMAN suspended Ruggedman alongside other members, JFO Baba Ojonorgua, Sunny Neji and Zaaki Azzay in August 2024, over alleged misconduct.
