Nigerian singer, pianist and songwriter Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, known professionally as Mayorkun, has vowed to never set foot in Calabar again following a harrowing robbery incident during which he lost one of his prized possessions.
The star, who was in the city to perform at a concert, became the target of some unscrupulous thieves who made away with his valuable item.
