Why Tiwa Savage got arrested by policemen

It was reported on Saturday that Tiwa was arrested by policemen after

she flouted traffic rules and removed a policeman's cap from his head

after he accosted her in front of Eko Hotels and Suites Victoria

Island.She was reportedly whisked away to the Victoria Island Police

Division for humiliating and assaulting the policeman.

A policeman at the station, who spoke to Punch 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."
