Praiz’s Arrest: Police Command Tell their side of the story

The Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) was involved in yet another PR nightmare today when rumours emerged that the police force division had arrested singer, Praiz.

According to the reports, the X3M Music signee was said to be en route the end of year party held by his record label when he was stopped by the police officials along Lekki-Epe expressway and subsequently arrested.

The Lagos State Police Command,however, have now explained what happened.

According to the Lagos State Police Command Spokesperson, SP Chike Oti who spoke to LIB, Praiz was driving along the Lekki-Epe expressway at top speed and this caused police officers 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.

Oti further revealed that it was police officers and not SARS officials who took Praiz to the station. The police spokesperson says the issue has been resolved and Praiz has been released.
