Promoter who messed Harmonize in Eldoret and left him with hotel bills amounting to thousands arrested

Police have confirmed that they have arrested the CEO of Shado Event Initiative which was behind Hamonize’s failed tour in Eldoret during the weekend.

The CEO, Douglas Obobe Maini, has been arrested by police who are investigating why he didn’t pay the singer who in turn failed to perform in the packed event.

Eldoret South Police boss Wilson Abduba, while confirming the incident, said that his officers managed to quell the agitated crowd that had started to destroy property at the venue.

“We had ‘Chaget festival‘ on Saturday which was to run from 6pm-6am and things were smooth until 2am when more than 5, 000 fans attending the event started demanding for Harmonize to perform. Reports we have indicated that there was disagreement on payment,” said Eldoret South Police boss Wilson Abduba.

Apology

Harmonize took to social media to apologize to his fans for not performing explaining what led to his actions.

“We have arrested the organizer and owner of Shado Events Douglas Obobe Maina who is assisting us in carrying out the investigations. My officers dispelled the angry crowds who destroyed tents, plastic chairs and later on, blocked the Eldoret-Kapsabet road as they burnt tyres,” he added.
