A security breach at the home of Nigerian pop singer Tiwa Savage saw thugs break in and attempted to kidnap her.
The incident was widely reported as a kidnap attempt on social media before Tiwa Savage’s management issued a statement to confirm the raid in her home and gave out more details.
The talented singer confirmed the incident at her home on her Instagram account via a statement signed by her management.
“Following recent reports online, we can confirm that on Thursday 13th April 2023 there was a major security breach at the residence of musician Tiwa Savage,” the statement reads in part.
Tiwa’s management also disclosed that the singer was safe after the ordeal and that several suspects had been arrested and were aiding police with their investigations.
“A number of suspects were caught and are currently being held under investigation at Alagbon Police Station, Ikoyi. Ms Savage and her family are safe and well,” the statement added.
According to several media outlets who published the report earlier and quoted self-acclaimed investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo, the singer’s new driver was alleged to have provided information about her movement known to his co-conspirators.
But luckily for Tiwa Savage, all the people in the kidnap attempt have all been arrested and handed to the police.
