SEUN EGBEGBE RELEASES OFFICIAL STATEMENT TO ADDRESS "iPHONE THEFT ALLEGATION" WITH POLICE REPORT

Yesterday news broke that Nollywood producer Seun Egbegbe had been arrested by the police for attempting to steal some phones from Computer Village in Lagos. Seun has now put out an official statement addressing the issue. Read below:

"My attention has been drawn to an online publication of the aforementioned. The story is pretty laughable and better left in the court of public opinion. Ordinarily, 1 do not want to join issues with the writer of the publication but I have a responsibility to set the records straight for my fans, friends and foes, in the defence of the truth.

To say the least, the news did not only grossly misinform unsuspecting public; it also portrays traces of campaign of calumny by some mercenary hirelings hell bent in destroying my name, for reasons best known to them.

Having read with keen interest the completely self-serving spirited attempt to destroy my person, it has become imperative and timely that a rejoinder is written to state the fact clearly. .

I want to state here categorically and emphatically that though I was at Computer Village to address some issues, but I was never arrested for stealing 10 iPhone 7s, as stated by the writer of the story, the matter has since been resolved by the Nigeria Police; and the issue of me stealing phone is devilish from the said writer.

Furthermore, It is rather unfortunate that the said writer will amount to cheap blackmail to deceive the unsuspecting public with a view of gaining cheap popularity. .

It is germane to note that I am a charitable, humane, and grass root person, who has exhibited selflessness in communal service, which have used as a veritable tool for social development. .

Finally, I wish to inform the general public to discard the report. I am presently at home relaxing!"

Meanwhile SP Dolapo Badmos, PPRO, Lagos Police Command has confirmed the incident saying "Yes, the command received the report. There are accusations and denials. The shop owner alleged that the said Seun came to his shop to buy phones, in the process he wanted to bolt away in a vehicle.  While Seun said he wanted to pick money from his vehicle to balance the payment based on agreement with the sales boy. But that while he entered the vehicle, the boy screamed for help and he was attacked by some people around the vicinity.  However the command through its operatives at Area F is investigating the matter to unravel the occurrence. The outcome will be made open”

Just when everyone is rejoicing with popular comedian, Oluwaseyitan Aletile, aka Seyilaw on the arrival of his baby girl after five years of a childless marriage, he narrowly escaped death in Lagos on Tuesday November 22.

According to the ace comedian in the post he shared on Instagram some hours ago, hoodlums attacked him on Lagos Island and he was almost killed.

He narrated: “God is indeed God of all.

Let me just thank God for seeing me through all the challenges of the past month. Friends have not been able to get through to me due to the tedious schedules and happenings.

Finally, today I thought I was going home and having tomorrow all to myself to rest and catch up with friends only to have my car breakdown at Apongbon and some hoodlums attacked stabbing my friend in multiple places just because they wanted phones and money.

What would have become of me today? I am so grateful to God Almighty. They escaped before Police arrived, but I asked myself if people had come to our rescue and descended on the hoodlums wouldn't people say SEYILAW was involved in jungle justice? Hmmmmm.

Ka sa ma dupe.
Thanks to the ever active Lagos Police PRO, SP Dolapo Badmos, @opetodolapo and all those that responded to my calls. God bless you..” (sic)
