Davido (@iam_Davido) Denies Arrest Story, Says “It’s Blackmail, I’m Not Wanted By The Police”

Wave making music sensation, Adedeji David Adeleke, better
known as Davido has refuted recent reports that an Assistant
Inspector General of Police has ordered his arrest for beating up a
taxi driver sometime ago. Davido, fondly called “Omo Baba
Olowo” by fans reacted to the issue via his Twitter handle early
on Sunday. Unlike normal twitter posts which allow just 140
characters, Davido had quite a lengthy message as he tweeted “I
wish to assure all my beloved fans and friends that I am not
wanted by the police and no officer in the Nigerian police gave an
order for my arrest.
I went to the police some weeks ago to give a statement and cleared my name. I did not
beat up any taxi driver and the lady that hired the taxi driver all those that are involved in
this matter have made statements to the police and none of them mentioned my name
except the taxi driver who claims that a large sum of money was missing in his taxi. In
fact, the lady in question stated that she was not beaten by anyone and that nobody
assaulted the taxi driver. This is a case of blackmail and I have resolved not to succumb to
any blackmail for money. And to inform those that are in this conspiracy to bring me down,
I want to remind you that God Almighty himself got me to where I am today in my music
career and you will not succeed in your devilish efforts to bring me down”:
