Mavin
Records diva, 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
