Pop
star Davido has released an official statement denying the news of him being
wanted by the Nigerian Police Force over the on-going assault case involving
him and a taxi driver.
On
Saturday, September 16, 2012, Crime Digest of Punch Newspapers reported that
the Assistant Inspector General of Police had ordered the arrest of the popular
pop singer.
Davido
however discredits the news in a statement released a day later after the news
broke; “I want to assure all my adored 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”, Davido said in the press statement released through his manager Asa
Asika.
The
19-year-old insists that he did not beat up the now-popular Taxi man Femi
Ajibola who claims Davido assaulted him and that even Susan (Davido’s supposed
lady-friend who hired the Taxi man’s services) has denied the news too.
“I
did not beat up any taxi driver and the lady that hired the taxi driver and 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.” Davido
explains.
He
laments that he is being blackmailed but he will not give in to it. “This is a
case of blackmail, and I have resolved not to give way to any blackmail for
money. And to all those that are involved in this scheme 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 ruin what
I’ve worked for”.
His
manager had this to add: “these are all false. I’m sure you all know we have
been in the states shooting videos for the last two weeks”, Asa Asika says.
Davido
returns to Nigeria on Sunday, September 23, 2012.
