The ongoing dispute between Tiwa Savage and Davido has taken a legal turn, as singer Tiwa Savage has reportedly petitioned the Commissioner of Police against Davido.
The petition, dated January 9th, 2024, indicates that Tiwa Savage has initiated legal steps against Davido, who is alleged to have threatened her with the use of boys.
The official statement circulating online suggests that Tiwa Savage is seeking legal redress in response to the alleged threats from Davido. The development follows Teebillz, Tiwa Savage’s ex-husband, publicly calling out Davido for disrespecting his family. Teebillz promised to teach Davido a life lesson and accused him of being a deadbeat father who had not seen his daughter Imade for the past two Christmases.
The legal petition adds another layer to the ongoing controversy within the Nigerian entertainment industry, as the public dispute between the involved parties continues to unfold.
Filling a petition against Davido after he allegedly threatened her, Tiwa Savage wrote;
I am writing to bring to your attention a distressing situation involving myself, Tiwatope Omolara Savage, popularly known as Tiwa Savage and MR. DAVID ADELEKE popularly known as Davido.
On the 23rd of December, I made a post which included myself and Sophia Momodu on my Instagram Story- a feature on Instagram which allows you to put up a post for twenty-four hours, and MR. DAVID ADELEKE sent messages to my manager who’s also part of his management team that I shouldn’t worry and should never say a word to him and that I was taunting him, uttering very disrespectful, malicious and derogatory words to my person.
I responded to MR. DAVID ADELEKE’s message and told him not to reach out to me especially as I feel like I have been there for him and his daughter, Imade and more importantly when he lost his son.
The events of that day have also led to a barrage of calls and messages from our mutual connections, asking me what I did to MR. DAVID ADELEKE that he’s upset that I choose to maintain a relationship with Imade’s mother, Sophia Momodu who he’s having issues with and also painting the exchange to look like I was the aggressor. He has also told our mutual connections to warn me to “becareful in Lagos because he was going to f**k me up”.
This is beginning to feel like some form of online and offline harassment not just to me but also members of my team. The actions of MR. DAVID ADELEKE are unethical and can be viewed as a direct threat to my rights to life, privacy and dignity of my person as guaranteed in Chapter 4 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), and are also in contravention of Section 24(2)(a) of the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) Act, 2015.
I therefore would like to make this complaint, and to state that in the event that anything untoward or harmful were to happen to me or any member of my family, I will like the members of the Nigerian Police Force to hold MR. DAVID ADELEKE responsible.
I am available to answer any questions or provide any additional information regarding this matter. Please find attached screenshot images of the exchange between myself and MR. DAVID ADELEKE for your perusal.
Thank you in anticipation of your prompt response and attention to this matter.
