Veteran Fuji musician KWAM 1 has finally reacted to the arrest of his 26-year-old son, Sultan Omogbadebo Anifowoshe, in the United States (US).
We had earlier reported that the suspects were arrested during a Chicago-based investigation dubbed Operation Gold Phish.
The young man was apprehended as part of an international investigation into online ‘love scams’ and ‘mystery shopper’ schemes that made victims lose at least $2 million (N724million) over the past two years.
KWAM 1 exclusively disclosed to Newsmen that his son has been released on bail and was just a victim of circumstance. The veteran singer added that, his son was among the suspects but he is not a fraudster.

He said: “Sultan Marshal’s Arrest: The True Story. Our attention has been drawn to the news circulating that Sultan, K1 De Ultimate’s son was arrested alongside five other people in the US over Two million Dollars fraud. There is no doubt that he was among those that were arrested but what is however not true is that he is a fraudster. We can confidently say that he was not in any way involved in the crime, which explains the reason why he was the only person that was released on bail. The bail given to Sultan indicates that he is not involved in the crime; he is only a victim of circumstance who happened to be at a wrong place at a wrong time. Many detractors are quick to celebrate the news because to them, they want to get to the father. But the truth will always shine as light over darkness. Sultan, we believe will be given a clean bill of health.”
However, the veteran Fuji artist is warming up to do some collaboration with popular northern music stars.
