Mavin Records first lady, Tiwa Savage was arrested over the weekend in front of Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, for violating a traffic law and insulting some police officers on duty.

The Mavin Records artiste did not only insult the policemen who flagged her down for flouting traffic rules, but also removed the cap of one of the policemen and flung it away.

According to report, the singer was whisked away to the Victoria Island Police Division, for daring to humiliate and assault the policeman.

A policeman at the station, who spoke to our correspondent 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."

Confirming the incident, Group publicist for Mavin Records, Terfa Tilley-Gyado, said Mavin Records 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.
