Nigerian singer-songwriter Tiwa Savage was the victim of a near-kidnapping on Thursday (April 13) after members of her recently hired domestic staff attempted to kidnap her. Thankfully, they were unsuccessful at pulling off the kidnapping.
According to The Guardian, members of the staff had personal information about Tiwa that they passed on to an outside group who attempted to kidnap her. Local authorities and members of Tiwa's security staff worked to thwart the would-be kidnappers and rescue Tiwa.
Nigerian Police Force Criminal Investigation Department spokesperson Oluniyi Ogundeyi later stated, "Yes, we have some suspects. They are in our custody, they are about four."
Tiwa also updated worried fans on Instagram in a statement that read, "Following recent reports online, we can confirm that on Thursday 13 April 2023, there was a major security breach at the residence of musician Tiwa Savage. A number of suspects were caught and are currently being held under investigation at Alagbon Police Station, Ikoyi."
