The Lagos Police command through its PRO, Dolapo Badmos, has explained
how the recent fight between pop star Wizkid and blogger, Linda Ikeji was
resolved. Linda Ikeji had reported a case of ‘threat to her life’ by Wizkid to
the police commissioner, Fatai Owoseni following his statement on social media
that he’ll send his 16 year old cousin to beat her up.
The case was eventually resolved on April 18, 2016 at the
commissioner’s office as both parties agreed to settle out of court.
The Lagos police PRO, Badmos said that ‘although Wizkid’s allegation
was criminal in nature, it was resolved through Alternative Dispute resolution
(ADR). They agreed to resolve the matter out of court after Wizkid said he did
not mean to threaten her life, rather it was an emotional outburst, with no
motive to harm her’.
She further stated that the
decision to settle the matter was not because of their status in the society
but due to genuine commitment by the parties to resolve the matter. She
explained that ADR is a standard practice in the world applied to resolve
crisis due to the high rate of conflict all over the world.
