Obesere
Ope Banwo, CEO of Stingomania Entertainment is set to battle Raymond Agaba, the man who has been parading himself as Obesere's manager .

In a press statement, the company said Obesere signed a contract with it to be its sole business management company and the contract will last till the end of 2012.

The statement signed by Barrister Oluyinka Oyeniji the corporate counsel of Stingomania Group, reads in part'…Stingomania Entertainment is the exclusive business management company for Alhaji Abass Obesere while our sister company, Stingomania Records remains the exclusive record label for Abass Obesere.

By virtue of the duly signed and executed contract between Obesere and Stingomania, we remain the exclusive management company for him until the end of 2012 and anybody purporting to represent him in any way, shape or form is on a frolic of his own and the general public should beware of such representation.'

The firm also disclosed that they have notified the Police and EFCC of the development.Oyeniji said 'To avoid the breakdown of law and order we have also notified the Police and EFCC of this gross violation of our contractual rights as we do not intend to sit back while others violate our contractual rights over this or any other artiste. We will of course be seeking

redress in the appropriate courts and through the police for violations of our contract'

However in reaction to the claims of Stingomania Entertainment , Raymond Agaba said he only handles the corporate side of Obesere. '…We are handling his (Obesere) corporate side and he is still working with Stingomania, we are working together. Stingomania can't be everywhere, whatever I do, I'll still report to Stingomania.Ope Banwo is getting everything wrong.

Ope Banwo is not happy with the arrangement which he described as illegal. He said by the virtue of the contract Obesere has with Stingomania Entertainment, even the fuji musician can not do his own business management himself without a written permission from Stingomania Entertainment.
