Zimbabwean rapper Allicious Musimbe, known as Maskiri, walked out of Chitungwiza Magistrate Court on bail after police used an elaborate trap to capture him. Authorities staged a fake birthday celebration and hired the musician to perform, then arrested him when he arrived to collect his deposit at a Chicken Inn outlet.
The charges stem from an alleged fraud involving Tonderayi Chisoro, a Zimbabwean living in America, who claims he transferred funds for livestock that never materialized. Chisoro says he paid through Mukuru Money Transfer, expecting five specific goat breeds, but received only excuses before Maskiri severed contact entirely.
The artist secured release for a modest sum and must remain at his residence while avoiding witness contact until his next court appearance. Mash Goats, the association representing Maskiri, has offered to supply the animals in exchange for dropping the case, giving themselves days to present acceptable stock for Chisoro's approval.
