Tiwa Savage’s Husband Reacts To News About Wife’s Arrest
The husband and manager to famous singer, Tiwa Savage, Tunji Balogun has
rubbished reports that the singer was arrested by the police at the weekend
for allegedly assaulting a police officer in Lagos.
Since last week Saturday, there have been several reports that Tiwa was
arrested on Friday night in Lagos for allegedly assaulting a police officer
around Eko Hotel and Suites.
The singer was said to have taken off the cap of the police officer, who
reportedly stopped her for allegedly breaking a traffic law. She was
reportedly whisked away to a police station in Victoria Island but was later
released by the police.
Reacting to the development, Balogun, well known as Tee Billz, when contacted
on the issue, said that the rumour is false and has no iota of truth in it.
“My brother, I am also just getting to hear about this rumour, it is not true.
I don’t know where they got such information from,” Tee Billz said.
“I don’t know when exactly they said such incident happened but Tiwa had four
shows that night (the incident was said to have occurred), and she was with us
all through,” he stated further.
Meanwhile, a policeman at the Victoria Island Police Division has confirmed
the Mavin Records artiste’s arrest. According to him, in a chat with newsmen
on the condition of anonomity, Tiwa had argued with the policeman, who flagged
her down for flouting traffic rules in front of Eko Hotels and Suites Victoria
Island, on Saturday.
He said: “Tiwa Savage refused to stop at a traffic light around Adetokunbo
Ademola Street near Eko Hotel and Suites. When we attempted to accost her, she
refused to park her car as instructed by the policemen.
“Since there was a traffic snarl at the time, a policeman followed her car and
insisted that she must stop. After a while, she stopped and started raining
abuses on all of us so, we took her to the station.
“On getting to the station, a senior officer advised her to apologise because
she was wrong and there were even eyewitnesses at the scene who could testify
against her if the matter was taken to court. She apologized and was released
immediately.”
