Suspended PMAN President Creates Shadow Executive Amid Fraud Allegations

Pretty Okafor, suspended president of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN), has announced a rival executive council. Industry insiders say this is an attempt to dodge accountability over fraud claims. Last December, PMAN’s legitimate National Executive Council convened an emergency session to suspend Okafor. They cited constitutional breaches, murky multimillion-naira deals, and efforts to silence whistleblowers. Okafor reportedly sidelined National Treasurer Baba Ojonugwa after the treasurer demanded a forensic audit. Investigations revealed a real estate deal that funneled an unexplained 10% share to an unknown third party. The authentic NEC has nullified Okafor’s unilateral appointments and appointed FCT Chapter Governor Sydney Sparrow as Acting President. They have also ordered an independent forensic audit. Musicians across Nigeria are calling for a swift, lawful resolution.
