Alavin retracts viral allegation against Wizkid associate

Emmanuel Jakpa, popularly known as Alavin, has retracted a viral video linked to the controversy involving businessman and social media influencer Uyi Agho, popularly known as Godson, urging members of the public to disregard its contents.

Alavin’s statement comes days after Godson, an associate of Afrobeats star Wizkid, denied allegations that he defrauded social media influencer Clement Akpobome Ogudu, popularly known as IsokoBoy (ISB), of N100 million, insisting that the matter was a business disagreement that had been misrepresented as fraud.

In a video statement released on Sunday, Alavin said the earlier recording he made on June 28, 2026, involving Godson did not reflect the true situation.

“The content of the video is not true. I hereby make this video as a rejoinder and urge the general public to disregard the earlier video being posted online by one Mr. Richie,” he said.

Alavin further clarified that the continued circulation of the earlier video by Richie was driven by a previous disagreement between Richie and Godson.

“Whatever Richie is posting and saying is out of jealousy and the issue he had previously with Godson,” he stated.

He also maintained that his rejoinder was made voluntarily, restating his continued friendship with Godson.

“I am not making this video under duress. We are all friends,” he added.

The development follows Godson’s petition to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, through his lawyer, C. C. Ezenwa, Esq., in which he denied defrauding IsokoBoy and described the dispute as arising from a clothing business allegedly valued at about N320 million.

He also alleged that IsokoBoy, Alavin, and others confronted him at his residence, recorded him while he was unclothed, and later circulated the footage online with claims that he had defrauded his business partner.
