[NEWS]Top Music Producer, Samklef Deported From UK Over Fraud

Music producer/artiste, Samklef’s manager has denied
that the artiste, who was recently denied entry upon
arrival in England, and subsequently deported, traveled
to the U.K on a false claim.
The story, published recently in Encomium Weekly,
alleged that the father of one said he’d lied to
immigration officers about his reasons for travelling to
the U.K, saying most Nigerian artistes do it.
The magazine wrote:
Encomium Magazine: We learnt you told immigration
that you were on vacation and they eventually found
out you came for shows without work permit. How true
is it?
Samklef: Yes
However, Samklef’s manager is now denying this. In a
chat with NET, he said ‘I don’t know where Encomium
got their information from.’
He however admits Samklef, 26, was denied entry, and
sent back from Heathrow arrival.
Samklef refused to have a conversation with us on this
issue, passing the phone to his manager after initially
picking it up himself.
According to the manager, "Samklef was once
invited to the U.K for a show, but couldn’t attend
due to logistics challenges on the part of the
organizers. A few months later, he got another
invitation and tried to travel on the visa issued
him by the former company, but unknown to him,
that company had reported him to immigration,
accusing him of fraudulent activities, hence, he
was sent back to Nigeria" .
However, he claims everything has been settled since
then, and ‘all is now well’.
No word yet on when the hit-maker, who celebrated the
arrival of his first baby in March, few months after his
wedding to Yvonne, is planning to return.
