Renowned Nigerian musician Tiwa Savage has taken a bold step by submitting a petition to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fayoade Adegoke, regarding what she alleges to be a direct threat to her safety by Afrobeats sensation, Davido.
In her petition, Tiwa Savage expressed concerns over an incident that unfolded after she shared a post on her Instagram Story featuring herself and Sophia Momodu, who happens to be Davido’s ex and the mother of his child. According to the petition, this action seemingly triggered a series of distressing messages from Davido, including derogatory remarks and a warning to “be careful in Lagos” as he purportedly intended to “fk me up.”
The singer further stated that the situation has escalated into online and offline harassment, not only affecting her but also her team members. Tiwa Savage firmly emphasized that she perceives Davido’s conduct as a direct violation of her constitutional rights to life, privacy, and dignity, as well as a potential breach of the Cybercrime Act of 2015.
Moreover, Tiwa Savage made it unequivocally clear that she holds Davido accountable and expects the Nigerian Police Force to take her petition seriously. The petition, which includes screenshots of the alleged exchange between her and Davido, serves as a proactive measure to safeguard herself and her family from any potential harm.
This development unfolded shortly after Tiwa Savage’s ex-husband, TeeBillz, publicly called out Davido for disrespecting his family, further amplifying the gravity of the situation.
This bold move by Tiwa Savage not only sheds light on the complexities of interpersonal relationships within the Nigerian music industry but also underscores the critical importance of upholding individuals’ rights and safety, irrespective of their public status.
As the world watches closely, the ball now rests in the hands of law enforcement, who shoulder the responsibility of ensuring a thorough investigation into the matter, thus upholding justice and safeguarding the well-being of all involved parties.
