Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has confirmed she recently escaped an attempted kidnapping.

The incident happened on Thursday in Lagos State.

Her management disclosed this in a statement issued via her verified Instagram page on Friday.

According to the statement, some suspects have been arrested and are “currently being held under investigation at Alagbon Police Station, Ikoyi.”

It added that Savage and her family are safe.

Meanwhile, self-acclaimed investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo alleged that the singer’s new driver masterminded the kidnapping attempt alongside his cohorts.
