As earlier reported, Nigerian singer, Praiz was arrested by Officials
of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad(SARS) and was held in the Ajah police
station in Lagos.
The Lagos State Police Command have now explained what happened.
According to the Lagos State Police Command Spokesperson, SP Chike
Oti, who spoke to LIB, the singer was driving along the Lekki-Epe
expressway at top speed and this caused policemen to stop him with the
aim of conducting a stop and search.
However, as soon as he stopped and they began questioning him, the
police claim he immediately brought out his camera and began filming
them while shouting at the top of his voice at them.
Oti said that at this point, police officers asked him to follow them to the station to explain what led to his outburst.
The police spokesman further revealed that it was policemen and not SARS officials who took Praiz to the station.
Oti says the issue has been resolved and the singer has been released.
Praiz is yet to release a statement.
