An as-yet-unidentified individual has successfully recovered the stolen diamond pendant belonging to popular singer Mayorkun.
The pendant went missing during the artist’s recent performance in Calabar, Cross River State.
As previously reported by Mp3bullet, Mayorkun had announced a reward for anyone who could return his second diamond pendant.
In a positive turn of events, his colleague Iyanya, who hails from Cross River, disclosed that someone had returned one of the diamond necklaces. The search was still on for the other pendant.
He said, “Thank you the guy who brought this back this morning to THE GRAND HOTEL CALABAR. Just returned now is 1 of 2 of @Mayorkun jewery. We have one more to go, my brothers if you have the second one please help us return it.
This one is still not been found, please check around, I’m sure we have it somewhere and will please return the second one to our brother, before he leaves Calabar. Just got Grand Hotel Calabar and drop it there, there’s a reward waiting for you on arrival.”
In a recent update, Iyanya reposted a video originally shared by a staff member of Hit FM, showcasing the recovered customized pendant. Expressing gratitude, Iyanya extended his thanks to everyone who supported and assisted in the search.
An on-air personality revealed that an individual had come forward, asserting that they found the jewelry on the floor and opted to bring it to the radio station.
My calabar people, this is very bad for the peaceful people I know us to be.
The government has brought my colleagues to entertain you, all you owe them is protection and great hospitality.
If you know anyone who stole from my brother , please return it and I will personally… https://t.co/AYkgspRGSQ— its iyanyaaaaaa💥 (@Iyanya) December 19, 2023
