It was further gathered that the failed plot was allegedly planned by Tiwa Savage’s domestic staff, who had been entrusted with vital information about her.

Sources said the domestic staff had been trailing the singer as she left her home and shared the information with other members of the alleged kidnapping gang.

Confirming the incident on Saturday, the FCID spokesperson, CSP Oluniyi Ogundeyi, said four suspects have been arrested by the police.

“Yes, we have some suspects, they are in our custody. They are about four,” Ogundeyi told NAN.
