On Thursday 29th Nov., i got an sms from Dejo-Richards claiming that he had the CEO of Questionmark records - Kevin Luciano Gabriel - arrested for attempted murder. That was at 2.49pm. At 11.22pm, I got another from him claiming that Kevin had been bailed by his lawyer.
Dejo-Richards was in a joint venture deal with Kevin Luciano to turn around the fortunes of Questionmark and was MD until the falling apart.
Richards claims to have initiated The Unilag Awards, the release of Silver Saddih's album, and a better perception of Qmark.
Can anyone verify this? And his claim that Kevin ran Qmark aground before the JV, and tried to malign his reputation as he claimed he did to others, justify his having him arrested and charged to court? He claims a gun was pulled on him.

Not so good with legal terms but going by the poster then the charge should have been asualt with a deadly weapon and still the issue of assualt does not come in because no harm was done

The current brouhaha rocking Questionmark records took an ugly, unforeseen dimension when on Friday November 30, members of the police force stormed Kevin Luciano’s Parkview estate, Ikoyi residence for a thorough search, following allegations by Dejo Richards that the questiomark boss had assaulted him with a gun. According to a reliable source, Kevin had earlier been arrested after Richards made a formal complaint to the police (Zone 2, Onikan, Lagos). Dejo Richars, until recently the CEO of Questionmark Records alleged, in text messages to journalists and a formal complaint to the police, that Kevin harassed him after a disagreement that got out of hand. ‘he slapped me, and pointed a gun at me’, he said.
In the SMS which is being circulated, Richards writes ‘I fight a just course. Kevin slapped me, punched me and pointed a gun on my face. Maybe because I argued with him over his excesses’.
Dejo Richards was introduced to the media few months back as the new CEO at a press conference where the label washed its hands of Streetmonks following what it termed ‘anti company activities’. The label has been locked in a bitter battle with Streetmonks ever since. The three year-old label owned and run by Luciano also has scores to settle with Asa, Cobhams, Wale Otegbola and Gbenga Shokefun – all of whom had at one time or the other enjoyed a sweet romance with Kevin and his label.
However, despite Richard’s allegations, sources told me that the police found nothing incriminating when they searched the bachelor’s home on Friday November 30.
‘I really don’t want to talk about this. I’m not a controversial person. People think I am, but I’m not’, Kevin said soberly last week. ‘Dejo is my younger brother’s friend. I gave him six month’s probation and when the six months was over and he didn’t live up, we asked him to go…’
