Mavin Records artiste, Tiwa Savage, has
been quizzed by the police for allegedly humiliating a policeman who
apprehended her for violating some
provisions of the Lagos state traffic laws.
Savage often referred to as Mavin First
Lady, was said to have engaged a
policeman who flagged her down for
flouting traffic rules in front of Eko Hotels
and Suites Victoria Island, on Saturday.
Savage who was recently signed a brand
ambassador deal with Forte, allegedly
came down from the vehicle she was
riding in and confronted the policeman on
duty who arrested her.
During the ensuing argument with the
cop, Savage who was infuriated by the
development was said to have angrily
removed the cap of the policeman in a
bid to get back at him.
The first African female PEPSI
ambassador was reportedly whisked away
to the Victoria Island Police Division, for
daring to humiliate and assault the
policeman.
When contacted, Group publicist for
Mavin Records, Terfa Tilley-Gyado,
confirmed the incident to our
correspondent on the telephone.
He said the records label will be issuing a
comprehensive statement stating the
position of Tiwa Savage and the group on
Monday.
“What would you like to know? We are
planning to prepare an official statement;
definitely not at this time. The press
release will be out on Monday for your
Tuesday production.
“I don’t think it will be prudent to use the
story until you have the official statement.
That is just my own opinion. I think you
should wait until you get the official
statement,” he said.
Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Police
Command, Ngozi Braide, could not be
reached for comments. Her telephone
rang out when contacted while a text
message sent to her was not replied to as
at press time.
