Dongo visited the police station with his lawyer, Dumisani Mthombeni, where he signed a “warned and cautioned” statement before being released. The musician told authorities he was not present when the fire started.
The incident made headlines over the weekend after reports emerged about the fire at Dongo’s house. The Ndozviita Sei hitmaker lost valuable items in the blaze, with rumours circulating that the fire was started by a jealous ex-lover who allegedly walked in on him with another woman. Dongo, however, dismissed these claims in a now-deleted Facebook post, calling them false.

nsane. I’m slowly starting to accept reality that’s why I had to gather up a bit of strength to type this message. Fabricated stories are circulating,different versions for the sake of getting likes and tarnish my image but avo vane information yakakwana are the closest kwandiri,zvimwe zvese wonai nekunyeperwa for the sake of monetization ye social media,” Trevor Dongo said.
The singer revealed that he was not home when the fire started and sustained burns while attempting to save his belongings. He confirmed that he lost several valuable items, including furniture, clothes, shoes, studio equipment, important documents, and his apartment.
