Lagos Police begin investigation into Tiwa Savage’s petition against Davido over threat to life
The Lagos State Police has begun an investigation into a petition by Afrobeat singer, Tiwa Savage over her colleague and former friend, Davido.
Tiwa had petitioned the Commissioner of Police against Davido, as she revealed how an Instagram story post with his baby mama, Sophia Momodu, led to Davido hurling insults at her and threatening her, and she retaliated by cutting off ties with him as she noted how she stood by him during his tough times.
Savage claimed in the petition that mutual friends of her and Davido had called her questioning what she did to the singer as he was badmouthing her and painting her as the aggressor over her relationship with Sophia. She stated that now she feels some form of online and offline harassment over it.
The Command’s Spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin has confirmed receiving the singer’s petition.
In a statement made to the public on Wednesday, January 10th, he stated that he could confirm that they received the petition and have begun an investigation.
“I can confirm that we received the petition. We have begun an investigation”.
The drama between the music stars started after netizens noticed that they had unfollowed each other and many tied it to Sophia Momodu who shares close ties with Tiwa.
Confirming the suspicion, Tee Billz, the baby daddy of Tiwa Savage, had publicly called out Davido for disrespecting his family, noting how he, Tiwa, and their son, Jamil have shown Davido’s daughter, Imade, love, yet the singer had disrespected them.
Threatening the singer, he said that his family would be the last one Davido would ever disrespect in Nigeria as he noted how the singer has been getting away with his crimes unforgivable. He vowed to spill teas about the ongoing rift after the Grammys.
In another post, he shared one of his chats with the singer, where he accused him of being a deadbeat father and vindicated Sophia Momodu. Calling for transparency, Tee Billz vowed to expose the truth about Sophia’s stance on their daughter’s visitation and threw shade at the singer for his lack of sense and Yes men around him.
