Music star, Ayo Balogun, otherwise known as Wizkid, yesterday
reported at the Lagos State Police Command, following allegation from
popular blogger, Linda Ikeji, that he threatened her life.
Ikeji filed a
threat to life compliant against Wizkid after he threatened to send his
teenage cousin to beat her.
Ikeji said she resorted to reporting to police, because threat to
women shouldn’t be taken lightly. According to the state Police Public
Relations Officer (PPRO), Ikeji lodged a complaint and police
immediately started probing the issue. She added: “The Commissioner of
Police, Fatai Owoseni, has brokered peace between them.
The command received a petition of threat to life from Ikeji against
Ayo Balogun. The police commissioner has stepped into the issue between
Wizkid and Ikeji. Alternative dispute resolution was used and the
parties left in peace.” Posting her blog on why she reported the
musician to police, Ikeji said:
“Wizkid went on my instagram page to call me names and lied that I
slept with some director of his, which I said before was one thousand
per cent lies! But the insult and lies were not why the police are now
involved. You can insult me, insult my family, call me any names you
like, even lie that I slept with your forefathers, but don’t threaten
me. If you threaten me, I will act! “I read people online saying that I
reported to the police because I was scared of Wizkid. No, my darlings,
I’m not afraid of Wizkid.
Although I didn’t take his threats lightly; I went to the authorities
for two reasons.” You see violence against women and threat of violence
against women is not okay. Threatening harm to someone in a public
space is a criminal act in every country of the world, including
Nigeria.” The social media war between Wizkid and Ikeji snowballed after
the blogger published that the music star was facing eviction problems
from his supposed Lekki home.
