Runtown is reportedly being sued for N14.3m by Dynamic Minds League, an Anambra State youth association, over claims that he
failed to perform at their New Year’s Day carnival.
The association claim Runtown breached a contract to perform at
a state-wide carnival that held on January 1, 2015 in Adazi-Nnukwu town,
Anambra State after collecting N800,000. The fee was paid to Runtown through
his record label, Eric Many Entertainment.
In the lawsuit filed before a Lagos State High Court in Ikeja,
the group claim to have also lost revenue in terms of what it spent on printing
fliers to promote the show’s tickets, flight tickets, and accommodation for the
artiste and his manager.
‘Due to the absence of Runtown, the association lost millions of
naira in expected profit and severe damage to its reputation which has a grave
impact on the association’s ability to stage events, attract patrons and
compete with rival carnival/show organisers in Anambra State and environs,’ the
petitioner said.
Runtown, through his lawyer, has reportedly filed an initial
opposition, stating lack of jurisdiction.
The case has been adjourned till January 25, 2017 for further
hearing.
