The MMMG co-owner was scheduled to perform billed to headline the ‘Ebola Free‘ concert in Liberia on Sunday, May 24, 2015 at Miami Beach, but he couldn’t make the trip and the show has been postponed.

Iyanya has cancelled a free concert to celebrate the end of Ebola in Liberia due to he fuel crises rocking Nigeria.

The show was meant to mark the World Health Organisation's (WHO) declaration of Liberia ‘Ebola Free‘. The country organized the concert to celebrate its victory over the dreaded disease that claimed the lives of over 4,000 citizens in the country.

Iyanya blamed his inability to travel to Liberia on flight cancellations by airlines which have found it increasingly difficult to purchase aviation fuel. Nigeria is currently gripped by a worsening fuel crises marked by scarcity of crude oil products, increase in prices and total unavailability.
