A copy of the Complaint/Arrest Affidavit for Nigerian pop singer Dammy
Krane and his co-defendant Chukwuebuka Gabriel Ilonchowu (“Ebuka”), an
alleged U.S. promoter who allegedly hired Krane’s services to perform in
the United States has been obtained and made public by media company
AfricanMusicLaw.com.
To summarize the allegations against Dammy
Krane and Chukwuebuka Gabriel Ilonchowu, the duo purchased two private
charter flight tickets with fraudulent credit cards to travel from Miami
to Washington D.C.
Dammy Krane who was set for a Nebbia Hearing
yesterday appeared in court and was denied a release on bail. He is set
to be arraigned on June 23rd, 2017.
Dammy Krane's criminal
complaint /Arest Affidavit explains the details of how and why the two
were arrested for the alleged crimes of grand theft, credit card, and
identity fraud, among other charges.
It states that Krane and
Ebuka purchased two private charter flight tickets with fraudulent
credit cards to travel from Miami to Washington D.C.
The CEO of
the company they purchased the tickets from, Eugene Kesselman of Tap
Jets Inc., was suspicious of them and contacted the police who arrived
and waited for them at the airport.
When the duo subsequently
arrived at the airport, the police detained them and subsequently took
them into custody, after an investigation.
The police say they
were able to identify the duo by their legal names. Dammy Krane had his
passport along with several credit cards in the front of his pant
pocket. Three of the credit cards were in Krane’s name but four were in
the name of a William Payton III.
The duo each had a book bag and
a suitcase. When the officer searched those, legitimately per the
officer’s claim, they found several cell phones and laptops in the bags
of the duo.
The two were read their Miranda rights after the
police established there was probable cause to arrest them. The police
asked if they wished to speak with an attorney. They allegedly declined
by waiving their rights to counsel.
By the way, the police say in
the complaint that Kesselman’s employee Stephanie Rodriguez claims that
she received a call from Dammy Krane who wanted to know when his jet
flight would arrive, and also whether there were issues with the credit
card on file for him.
The police claim that even though she knew
that there was an issue, she did not want to alarm him. So she told him
there was no issue. Nevertheless, he mentioned there were other card
numbers he could give her to ensure there was no issue.
As it stands, both co-defendants are still in custody and have been denied bail.
