By now, we have all heard reports that Tiwa Savage was
arrested by Lagos policemen on Saturday night, but nobody
knows what really happened; till now.
Tiwa Savage was arrested by the police for allegedly
humiliating a policeman who apprehended her for violating some
provisions of the Lagos State Road Traffic Law in front of Eko
Hotels and Suites Victoria Island, on Saturday, according to
PUNCH.
During the ensuing argument with the cop, Savage, who was
said to have been infuriated by the development, allegedly
removed the cap of the policeman.
She was then whisked away to the Victoria Island Police
Division for humiliating and assaulting the policeman.
A policeman at the station, who spoke on the condition of
anonymity, said Savage was released shortly after. 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 apologised and
was released immediately.”
