Why Tiwa Savage Was Arrested

Nigerian musician 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.”
