Salami, who spent 23 years abroad, primarily in Cape Town, South Africa, claimed his family took him to see an ‘Alfa’, a traditional spiritual leader, under false pretences.

The video, shared on Instagram by @trendmyne, showed Salami recounting his ordeal.

He explained that upon his return, he was denied access to properties he had asked his family to build for him.

Instead, they told him to visit an ‘Alfa’ for prayers, supposedly to seek blessings from God. However, upon arrival, Salami was forcibly confined to a room with other individuals who had been held there for months.

Salami expressed his shock and dismay at the situation, stating that he was being held against his will due to his smoking habit, which he argued was not a sin according to the Quran or Bible.

He described the living conditions as terrible and felt betrayed by his family’s actions.
In his words:

“I base in South Africa, Cape town. My name is Bayo Salami. My company name is Kuvuki empire and I am one of the top promoters in South Africa. I’ve done many wonderful shows with Davido, Wizkid, and even MI.

“I just arrived to Nigeria because of family issues. I am asking for my properties and everything.

They denied and said that they are still under development. I did not complain. I said no problem let me go back to where I came from.

They now told me that I have you go to somewhere for one Alfa to pray for me because when I get there, I can’t be blessed from God.

“I said alright. You’re my family. Who am I to judge? They want to do it because of my own progress.

When I arrived there, one Alfa just told me that I should come inside the room. Meanwhile, me I’m thinking that he wanted to pray for me.

Suddenly, he just pushed me inside one room. I saw some people there that have been there for 6 months to 1 year. Their living condition is very terrible

“I was like, what am I doing here? It’s going to 17 days now. They said they put me there because I am smoking cigarette. Inside Qur’an or Bible, there’s no part against cigarettes.

I’m not a drunkard. See the way I look like now. Like I’m homeless. I am not insane. I’ve been abroad for 23 years totally.”
