The music star was whisked away by armed men of the police force.
Timaya, a Nigerian music sensation, was arrested hours after he was accused of nearly killing a young woman.
On March 2, 2022, an Instagram user named Osinubi Omowumi claimed to be the victim’s sister and accused the musician of driving his automobile into her after she confronted him about causing damage to her car.
In the latest development, men of the Nigeria Police Force stormed the residence of the music star on Thursday morning.
The musician was seen describing what happened during the alleged hit-and-run incident to the officers.
A few minutes later he was whisked away by the armed police officers.
Omowumi accused the music star of causing severe injuries to her sister.
“She is in the hospital now in serious pain and the funniest part is me messaging him to do the needful but this wicked fellow blocked me after reading my messages,” part of her post read.
She also said he blocked her on Instagram when she attempted to contact him.
