Dolapo Badmos, Lagos Police PRO, revealed that when the Lagos Police
Commissioner invited the feuding parties, Wizkid denied any intention
to harm the blogger.
The Lagos Police Command has lifted the lid on what happened after the highly publicized feud between blogger, Linda Ikeji and Wizkid was reported to them.
According to the
Police P.R.O, Dolapo Badmos, when the police invited the parties, they
agreed to resolve the matter out of court after Wizkid said he had not
really meant to threaten her life, and that his rant was rather
emotional, with no malicious intent attached.
Wizkid,
she said, explained that the threat of sending his 16-year old cousin
to beat up Linda, was also written out of anger and emotion and there
was nothing else to it.
She said that even
though the 'threat' was criminal in nature, the matter was amicably
resolved through Alternative Dispute resolution ( ADR ).
Police
say decision to resolve the matter was not because of the parties'
status in the society but due to genuine commitment by the parties to
resolve the matter.
