The promoter of Resort Carabana in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nse Essien, has slammed an N10m suit against popular Nigerian musician, Duncan Wene Mighty Okechukwu, also known as Ducan Mighty, over alleged breach of contractual agreement.

A letter dated January 7, 2022, and addressed to Duncan Mighty by Essien’s Lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, (Esq), revealed how the breach of contract has caused a lot of damages such as; mental distress, financial loss, negative business rating, and reputational damage to the organizers after wide publicity of his (Duncan Mighty) presence at the occasion.

“By the mutually agreed terms of the contract, the consideration for your appearance and musical performance at the event was N2,500,000.00 (Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Naira) in addition to the sum of N500,000.00 (Five Hundred Thousand Naira) for business class air tickets since you insisted on traveling by air to Uyo with two members of your crew.
Our client dutifully fulfilled his obligations under the contract by paying the sum of N3,000,000.00 (Three Million Naira) in two tranches of N2,000,000.00 (Two Million Naira) and N1,000,000.00 (One Million Naira) respectively being the cumulative amount accruable to you for your live performance and flight/travel expenses.”
