Last night, popular Nigerian luxury designer and
jewelry maker, Michael ‘Malivelihood’ Awolaja was detained at the airport in
London for not declaring the diamonds he had with him which were reportedly
worth more than £100,000.
Reports has it that the designer was held in a
security room of Hearthrow airport by officials who thought he was smuggling
the diamonds found in his bag. During his detention, the businessman reportedly
became angry, and asked that they verify his business dealings. He later
admitted that he forgot to declare the jewels and it took a while before he
completed the necessary documentation.
Speaking with LIB sources, Awolaja said, “I forgot
to declare some stuff which made the security people panic. Nothing big
though.”
Malivelihood has worked with American celebrities
like DJ Khaled, Amber Rose, and Meek Mill, and Nigerian stars like Mike
Ezuronye, Phyno and Iyanya.
