Entertainer Likkle Dainjah is going to face an identification parade later this week, after being arrested on Thursdays night at Reggae Sumfest.
Likkle Dainjah was escorted out of the Catherine Hall venue subsequent to his performance by six police officers. Reports are that the dancehall deejay is allegedly wanted for questioning.
Sources close to the entertainer have since stated that it is a case of mistaken identity. Likkle Dainjah remains in a St. Mary lockup.
AT press time last night, singjay Likkle Dainjah was still in police custody, four days after being arrested following his performance at Reggae Sumfest in Montego Bay.
He was taken away in handcuffs shortly after performing on Dancehall Night, held at Catherine Hall.
The entertainer, whose given name is Dwayne Ford, is being probed by the police as a person of interest in a murder that took place in St Mary in 2013.
In an interview with the Jamaica Observer yesterday, Ford’s manager and CEO of True Loyal Records, Vaughn Wint, said Likkle Dainjah is yet to be charged.
“We are really frustrated as he was supposed to go on an ID parade today (yesterday) but this was postponed until today. He has been in custody for more than 72 hours, so we will be getting an attorney involved,” Wint said.
Wint said he and Likkle Dainjah are surprised by the police’s actions.
“We are told that somebody with a name similar to his stage name was connected to a murder that happened in St Mary about two years ago. They wanted to clear his name so he was taken and placed into custody to face an ID parade.”
