Legit.ng earlier reported that Nigerian singer Candy Bleakz left many worried after she shared an update about the alleged arrest of Kolu in the United Kingdom following a dispute involving a missing passport on Wednesday, February 18, 2026.

According to Candy Bleakz, Kolu was arrested in the UK after he could not provide his passport. She claimed the issue escalated after he failed to provide his travel document, prompting authorities to intervene.

The situation allegedly led to Kolu’s detention as investigations began. The singer revealed she has remained at the station trying to talk things out with the police.

Oluomo of Derby, who is a founder of a group of Nigerians based in the UK, came out to dismiss the reports of Kolu's arrest.
