Speaking on the incident on Tuesday, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said eight domestic workers of Davido were brought in by the police operatives for questioning.

“They were brought in questioning, not arrest. Anybody found not culpable will be released immediately while those found culpable will remain with us to further our investigation,” the police spokesperson said.
