Ajasa according to the reports had presented some documents sent to him by a London-based music promoter which the British High Commision found to be false. He was subsequently denied visa on the ground that the documents submitted were false and given 28 days to file an appeal which he summarily dismissed and moved on with his life.<\/p>\n<p>However, his refusal to appeal haunted him again when another promoter invited him for another performance. \u201c Yes, I was refused visa again and told that I have an appeal and until I\u2019m found not guilty by the appropriate authorities in the UK, the decision of the High Commission in Lagos will not be reversed. But it is shocking that this is coming up again in the media. It actually happened three years ago, imagine three years ago and it\u2019s gaining prominence in the media now.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s now news to me. I see it as a beef against me. Some people are just out to run me down. I have since moved on with my life. Yes, I get invitations to perform in the UK several times but if it\u2019s not ripe and right to go I cannot kill myself. I\u2019m not desperate. I don\u2019t want to send wrong signals to those youths listening to my music that going abroad is the ultimate. My parents live in the United States and I have a choice to live here or there.\u201d On his next line of action, Ajasa said: I\u2019m looking into the UK matter alongside my lawyers and I\u2019m sure it will be resolved in due course.\u201d<br clear=\"all\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Do you have a story\/gist for publication?
