Three members of the Happie Boiz, a group of former security personnel turned entertainers, have reportedly been arrested in Cyprus. The reason for their arrest and subsequent court appearance remains unclear at this time.
The Happie Boiz gained notoriety earlier this year when they publicly criticized Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, who had sent them to Cyprus on scholarships after they lost their jobs at a fast-food restaurant for dancing while on duty.
Led by Matthew Kelechi, the group accused the prominent clergyman of abandoning them in Cyprus and rejected his offer to pay for their return flights to Nigeria or Benin Republic so they could attend university. They also made disparaging comments about the clergyman and questioned his ability to continue funding their overseas scholarships due to economic challenges and foreign exchange shortages.
The recent arrest of the Happie Boiz in Cyprus has raised questions about their situation and the circumstances surrounding their detention. Further details are awaited as the situation develops
