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.
