The artist made the revelation during an interview on the Trending podcast, nearly a year after his arrest. Oladips was reportedly picked up alongside some neighbours during a midnight raid conducted by the EFCC in his estate in November 2024.
He disclosed that after spending five days in detention, the anti-graft agency found no incriminating evidence against him.

His words …
“It’s just one smelling place like that. They just packed us there like sardines and they gave us nonsense food. Funny enough it was Zlatan that was sending me food. Zlatan is not even a friend, that’s my blood.

“He was sending someone to buy good food for me because the food there is bad. They just packed us there like sardines. I’m not even supposed to be there first of all. Like, why did I spend four to five days there when you people (EFCC) didn’t find anything on me, not even a single thing. And they still collect N10 million from me before they released me.”

When queried “Is it a thing you can take up against the EFCC later, or you will just allow the sleeping dog lie?”, the singer reacted “Who is my father?”

I for dey their page now if to say I dey do Yahoo. They didn’t find anything on me. If they are watching this, they know that I’m saying the truth.

“They collected money from me before they released me. They didn’t find anything on me. So, what was the money for? What was all that stress and suffering for? It’s just Nigeria. Nigeria just happened to me,” he said.
