Ace musician Davido, has ordered the release of the girls who accused him of impregnating them after his crew got a hold of them.
The Nigerian police have also reacted to the citizen arrest as they frowned on him taking the matter into his own hands.
Davido’s hypeman and bodyguard, Edward Liah had carried out the arrest himself.
According to The PUNCH, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, said some policemen talk less of citizens had no right to apprehend people.
Recall that Davido’s hype man, known as Special Spesh, had posted a video on Instagram showing the two women, Helen and Susan, handcuffed and sitting on a chair in a living room.

Elakana said it was wrong of Davido and his team to take the law into their own hands.
The police spokesman said,
“Even if someone defamed your character, you are to hand over the person to the police immediately but to parade them is wrong. The person being paraded has the right to sue. Private citizens have no right to parade another person.
“Not all policemen even have the power to parade suspects.
“You cannot be a judge in your own case. If he feels aggrieved, he should lodge a complaint and not go to effect an arrest. He cannot conclude the guilt of another person. There must be an investigation and only a court can pronounce them guilty.”
