Tiwa Savage Was Arrested For Assaulting An Officer

A policeman at the Victoria Island Police Division has confirmed Mavin Records artiste, Tiwa Savage's arrest last Sunday after she allegedly humiliated a policeman who apprehended her for violating some provisions of the Lagos state traffic laws.
And according to him, in a chat with Punch on the condition of anonomity, Mavin's First Lady, 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 apologised and was released immediately.”

When contacted, the Group Publicist for Mavin Records, Terfa Tilley-Gyado, confirmed the incident and said the records label would issue a comprehensive statement stating the position of Tiwa Savage and the group on Monday.
