Samklef was recently denied entry into the UK. He was deported to Nigeria.
The award winning 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.www.naijanation.com
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.
