Seun Egbegbe being allegedly caught and beaten for stealing iPhone 7 phones
Here is trending news as we reported on Tuesday
as the news went viral that Seun Egbegbe, the estranged lover of
popular Nollywood actress, Toyin Aimakhu, was caught, beaten by an angry
mob and finally arrested by the Police at the popular Computer village
in the Ikeja area of Lagos, for allegedly stealing 9 iPhones.
The news gist in an exclusive report by Encomium, the embattled producer and
Lagos socialite, Seun Egbegbe, denied the theft, and told the police
that he was on his way to his car to pick money for the phones when the
sales boy raised an alarm that he was bolting away, adding that he was
apprehended by passersby and beaten.
Now thereafter, policemen from Area F in GRA Ikeja were alerted, and he was whisked away.
However, the owner of the shop still insists that Egbegbe was
running away, while he claims that he was going to get money from his
car.
Speaking exclusively to Encomium, SP Dolapo Badmos, the Police
Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Command, confirmed the
alleged theft by the multi-millionaire film-maker.
“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,” Dolapo said.
Read the official statement released by Seun Egbegbe to debunk the viral report of theft:
"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, I 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 I phone 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!"
