Eezee Tee Denies Fraud Allegations, Reveals $625,000 Payments And Contract Breaches
Gospel music label EeZee Conceptz has issued an official response to recent allegations leveled against its CEO, Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu (popularly known as EeZee Tee), concerning a purported fraud of $345,000 involving gospel artist Mercy Chinwo. The label strongly refutes these claims and has clarified its position on the ongoing contractual dispute with the artist.
In its statement, EeZee Conceptz addressed the claims made against Onyedikachukwu, which include:
Allegations Filed Against EeZee Conceptz CEO by Mercy Chinwo
Fraudulent Diversion of Funds: Mercy Chinwo alleges her former label boss diverted $345,000 in royalties generated from digital platforms and events without remitting her share.
Failure to Disclose Earnings: Accused of receiving royalties from digital platforms, music content, and performances without providing proper transparency.
Breach of Trust: Allegedly withheld funds entrusted to him for proper management.
Alleged Evasion of Arrest: The EFCC claims EeZee Tee has avoided attempts to bring him in for questioning and has failed to cooperate with investigations, resulting in a warrant of arrest.
In its response, EeZee Conceptz revealed that Mercy Chinwo has received over $625,000 in earnings since signing a 50/50 gross revenue-sharing agreement, which the label maintains has been honored transparently. The label further alleges that the current dispute stems from breaches of contract by the artist, including:
Failure to deliver a third studio album as required under the agreement.
Withholding funds from events, royalties, and digital content that were
contractually due to the label.
Despite these breaches, EeZee Conceptz stated that it made repeated efforts to resolve the matter amicably, including proposing reconciliation meetings, but claims these efforts have been ignored by the artist.
EeZee Conceptz emphasized its sole financial investment in the production, promotion, and distribution of Mercy Chinwo’s music catalogue, asserting that the artist did not contribute financially to the body of work. The label reiterated that all funds, assets, and intellectual property tied to the catalogue remain the property of EeZee Conceptz under the terms of the contract.
The label also noted that it has consistently fulfilled its financial obligations to the artist, remitting royalties and other payments promptly. In response to public claims made by the artist, the label urged transparency, stating:
“We invite the artist to publicly share her bank statements and records of music production before and during her time with EeZee Conceptz to clarify the significant financial investment made by the label in her career.”
EeZee Conceptz expressed concern over what it described as a misuse of institutional processes to escalate the dispute. The label highlighted a prior incident where its CEO was allegedly illegally detained by the EFCC for nine days, during which $274,000 was extorted under duress. Despite these challenges, the label maintained that it has continued to act within the confines of the law.
“We remain committed to the rule of law and trust that the legal system will ensure a fair resolution to this matter. The allegations of fraud are not only baseless but a direct attempt to undermine the years of investment, mentorship, and support provided to Mercy Chinwo through EeZee Conceptz,” the statement read.
EeZee Conceptz has called on industry stakeholders, fans, and the media to approach the matter with professionalism and objectivity. The label urged caution in engaging with one-sided narratives, encouraging a focus on verifiable facts and legal processes to avoid undue harm to the reputation of all parties involved.
The label concluded by reaffirming its commitment to transparency, professionalism, and the continued promotion of gospel music in Nigeria and beyond.

itel, the technology empowerment brand for masses, officially unveiled its new product A300+, brand’s first interactive dual-screen smartphone in its price range. itel A300+ comes with a comprehensive set of features — a 7000mAh marathon battery, IP65 military-grade durability, and satellite communication capability, demonstrating that innovation and complete product strength can coexist at an accessible price point.
A First-of-Its-Kind Rear Screen Experience: Interactive Innovation for a New Generation
itel A300+ coming with an interactive rear display is a rare feature in this price category, designed to deliver a smart entertainment experience for young generations. Far from being a cosmetic gimmick, the rear screen provides practical functions built around real everyday scenarios. Users can frame selfies using the higher-quality rear camera with a live preview on the back screen, glance at incoming messages and alerts without waking the main display, and play, pause, or skip tracks directly from the rear screen. The rear display also supports customizable clocks, photos, and designs, giving users a personal window to express their individual style. Complementing the rear screen, the A300+ features a 6.78-inch immersive punch-hole main display, offering a cleaner, more expansive viewing experience for streaming, gaming, browsing, and social media.
Performance and Value in Balance: Delivering Fresh Technology Despite Industry Pressure
Even amid rising industry costs, itel has chosen to bring fresh technology to its products while continuously improving performance and keeping pricing accessible. The A300+ is powered by a 7000mAh marathon battery engineered for long-term reliability, supporting up to 1,200 charging cycles — far exceeding the industry standard, and designed to retain healthy capacity. AI Charging Protection intelligently manages charging patterns to reduce battery degradation, while Smart Power Management optimizes power consumption across apps and hardware to extend usage time between charges.
The device also features 300% ultra-volume DTS stereo speakers, delivering rich, room-filling sound for music, videos, FM radio, and everyday entertainment. Built to withstand daily life and beyond, the A300+ carries IP65 water and dust resistance certification and meets military-grade durability standards, resisting splashes, dust, and accidental drops. Notably, the A300+ includes satellite communication capability, ensuring users can still send basic messages via satellite when cellular networks are unavailable — a safety net in remote areas, during natural disasters, or in other critical situations, setting it apart in its price segment.
The A300+ is built on a clear product philosophy, rather than relying on a single headline feature, it combines its key strengths into one complete product story. The rear screen captures attention first, while battery life, durability, and practical usability make the overall value proposition convincing. With the A300+, itel once again demonstrates its commitment to using innovation to meet the needs and desire for novelty among young users in emerging markets.
The itel A300+ is available in two variants: the 64GB ROM and 128GB ROM and they are both available in all phone retail stores in Nigeria or via online store HERE
