Upcoming artiste Orrette ‘Caano’ Brown has issued a warning to media entity CVM TV to retract a story about him being arrested for his alleged involvement in human trafficking, scamming, and holding a Canadian National against her will.

The story which was posted on the entity’s platform on Thursday, February 2, revealed that the former Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall contestant was arrested on reasonable suspicion of human trafficking, lottery scamming, and kidnapping based on a report which was made to the St Catherine police of a Canadian woman being held at his home.

The report also showed that relatives of the alleged victim were forced to send an undisclosed amount of cash to Brown.

Brown however stated that the allegations put forth are baseless as the woman who is said to be a former Canadian banker was his spouse and that at the time of his arrest, lawmen found no evidence of scamming.

He also stated that the woman corroborated his story adding that her life was not in danger and chided that his rights were violated based on lies.

“The police never press no charges against me, there was no evidence of scamming. When mi ask the cops dem fi a search warrant, dem never show me nothing.” He lamented.

“This feels like a violation of my rights and plus, the police leak false information to the media about me, that the woman was rescued, this can damage my reputation,” Caano continued. 

“In the end, ah she end up a defend me. She picked up for me, and told them it was all a lie, even the girl brother said, ‘this whole thing wasn’t right’. Dem violate mi rights,” he added.

In the interim, Caano assured that he will be seeking advice on the matter and urges the entity to retract the slanderous allegations as he has upcoming shows.
