Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage, has submitted a petition to the Lagos State Police Command over alleged bullying and threats to her life by David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido.

Speaking on the development, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed on Tuesday, January 9, 2024, that investigations had begun into the allegations.

He said, “I can confirm to you that we have received the petition and investigation has commenced.”

According to the petition, Savage accused Davido of uttering disrespectful words in reaction to a post on Instagram which included herself and the singer’s Baby mama, Sophia Momodu.

Further in the petition, Savage expressed her disappointment at Davido’s threats and reminded him of how she stood by his family, especially when he lost his son, Ifeanyi.

The petition read in part, “On the 23rd of December, I made a post which included myself and Sophia Momodu’s 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 đisrespectful, 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 chose 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.”(sic)

Savage had got calls from mutual connections inquiring about issues that led to the threat. The singer further alleged that Davido told their mutual connections to warn her to be careful in Lagos as he was going to deal with her.

“He has also told our connections to warn me to ‘be careful 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 action of MR. DAVID ADELEKE is unethical and can be viewed as a direct threat to my rights to life, privacy, and dignity of my person,” she added.
