SaharaReportes on Tuesday reported how Tiwa Savage submitted a petition to the Nigeria Police Force in Lagos State against Davido.
The petition was over an alleged threat to life and other actions that allegedly infringed on her fundamental human rights.
This was seen in a copy of the petition Mrs Savage submitted to the office of the Commissioner of Police in Lagos dated January 9, 2024.
In her petition, the singer accused Davido of threatening her since the day she posted a picture of one of his ‘baby mamas’, Sophia Momodu on her Instagram status.
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,” she added.
