Happie Boys arrested, detained in Cyprus

Internet sensations and former security guards, Happie Boys, have been reportedly arrested in Cyprus.

It was gathered that Happie Boys, comprising three boys, were arraigned in court and subsequently remanded in prison on Monday, October 9, after they were arrested in Cyprus.

They were said to have been arrested and charged with an undisclosed offence in the country, leading to their detention in a correctional facility by authorities.

Happie Boys made news earlier this year after they called out clergyman, Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, who sent them on scholarship to Cyprus after they were fired by a fast-food restaurant for dancing while working.

The group of lads, led by Matthew Kelechi, later said the cleric abandoned them in Cyprus.

The priest then offered to pay for their return airfares to Nigeria so they could enroll in any university or in the Benin Republic, but they turned him down.

The youngsters also made derogatory remarks about the priest and made fun of his incapacity to complete their study abroad program in Europe due to financial constraints.
