However, Shettima, in a video currently making the rounds, declared that he deliberately wore sneakers to the event, which took place on Monday.

According to Shettima, “One of the presidential candidates, his team held meetings for three consecutive nights to commit mischief.
“When I was told it was a hostile crowd. I’m a banker, trained by one of the best bankers in the world. I’m a Jim Ovia boy. I deliberately wore sneakers to the NBA to mock (sic) at them.”
