A Federal High Court in Lagos has issued an arrest warrant for Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu, the manager of Nigerian gospel singer Mercy Chinwo.
The arrest warrant was granted following an ex parte motion filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), accusing the manager, Onyedikachukwu of diverting $345,000 in royalties meant for Mercy Chinwo.
According to the EFCC, Onyedikachukwu received royalties from Mercy Chinwo’s digital platforms and events without proper disclosure and failed to pay her fair share. The commission’s investigator, Michael Idoko, stated that the EFCC received a petition from Mercy Chinwo accusing her manager of financial misconduct.
The court granted the EFCC’s application and adjourned the matter until January 24, 2025 when Onyedikachukwu will be arraigned. If he cannot be found for arrest, the EFCC will issue a public summons declaring him wanted.
This development comes after Mercy Chinwo and her husband, Pastor Blessed Uzochikwa, made headlines for their charitable acts in Rumudara village, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

I don’t forget humble beginnings I would have suggested they settle it amicably than otherwise.
That’s good for him
Very sad
It’s well God will help us in this country
God will help them
Why will her manager do such a thing I felt for her for such huge amount.
I guess this can be settled amicably you are two matured people
God have mercy upon us
Very sad
I pray all is resolved
I think it is good because recovery is possible, else he will run away with the money.
Finally I think things are settled after this.
God will help them
That’s not good of him, if it’s happened to be true.
Is good for him
I don’t understand
Honesty and transparency between two people is very important in business.
It’s indeed a sad one…
