“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.

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.
