Police Division for humiliating and assaulting the policeman.
A policeman at the station, who spoke to Punch said..
“Tiwa Savage
refused to stop at a traffic light around Adetokunbo Ademola Street near Eko
Hotel and Suites. When we attempted to accost her, she refused to park her car
as instructed by the policemen.
Since there was a
traffic snarl at the time, a policeman followed her car and insisted that she
must stop. After a while, she stopped and started raining abuses on all of us
so, we took her to the station.
On getting to the
station, a senior officer advised her to apologise because she was wrong and
there were even eyewitnesses at the scene who could testify against her if the
matter was taken to court. She apologised and was released immediately.”
