Popular Nigerian gospel singer Yinka Ayefele has just written an open letter to the U.S Homeland Security
to track down and deport his three band members who disappeared after
his music tour in U.S.A. The award winner claims the act was indeed,
wrong, disrespectful and insulting to his country Nigeria.
According to reports, Ayefele left Nigeria on
September 2 with a 14-man band for a six-weeks musical tour of the US.
The band performed in more than 5 major cities including, New York,
Washington, Houston, Atlanta, Baltimore, Maryland and Dallas. On his
return to Nigeria this week, three of his band members were missing had
vanished into thin air.
From the petition filed by the singer on Friday, here are names of those declared wanted in the States:
1. The lead vocalist of Ayefele’s Merry-Makers Band, Solomon Motimoke popularly known as ‘Yatty’ who dumped the band while they were in Washington DC on 11th October.
2. Ojoyido Adegbenga Ezekiel (Keyboardist), who disappeared at the band’s hotel at Howard Johnson Inn on Rockaway Boulevard, New York on Tuesday, 15th October
3. Olusola Kayode Isaac (vocalist), who disappeared at the La-Guardiala Airport, New York on Monday, 14th October on his way from Houston

3. Olusola Kayode Isaac (vocalist), who disappeared at the La-Guardiala Airport, New York on Monday, 14th October on his way from Houston
So, it’s official, if these three men are found, they would be deported back to Nigeria with immediate effect! But the question is, why didn’t Ayefele
signal the DC Police Department or the immigration when the first band
member went missing on October 11? Why wait until you get to Nigeria on October 18
