Afrobeats artiste, Tiwa Savage, says she was recently a victim of a failed kidnapping attempt, confirming the initial reports that emanated from the media about a possible security breach at the musician’s Lagos residence.

“Following recent reports online, we can confirm that on Thursday 13th April 2023 there was a major security breach at the residence of musician Tiwa Savage,” a statement by the musician’s team on Friday said.

It was first reported on Thursday that there was a security breach at Tiwa Savage’s Lagos residence in which a domestic worker and a driver had allegedly given out information to other conspirators.

They had trailed the musician for days before running out of luck. However, it has now been confirmed the suspects have been arrested.

“A number of suspects were caught and are currently being held under investigation at Alagbon Police Station, Ikoyi. Ms Savage and her family are safe and well,” the statement added.

Furthermore, the singer took to her verified Instagram page to thank everyone for their messages and support amid the incident and reassured the fans that “all is well”.
