Movie producer, Seun Egbegbe, denies stealing 10 iPhones

About 24 hours after film producer, Seun Egbegbe, who is best known as the ex- lover of popular Yoruba actress, Toyin Aihmakhu, was arrested by the police for attempting to steal 10 iPhones from Computer Village in Lagos, he has denied the claims in a new statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES.

In the statement, Egbegbe, who came to public light following his whirlwind romance and dramatic split from Aihmakhu in May, denied being beaten to a pulp by a mob at the Computer Village in Ikeja, Lagos State, on Tuesday for allegedly stealing 10 iPhones at a shop in the area.

The Ebony Films boss also refuted viral reports that he was consequently handed over to the police at the Area F Command, Ikeja, Lagos.

Read his statement below:

My attention has been drawn to an online publication of the aforementioned. The story is pretty laughable and better left in the court of public opinion. Ordinarily, 1 do not want to join issues with the writer of the publication but I have a responsibility to set the records straight for my fans, friends and foes, in the defence of the truth.

To say the least, the news did not only grossly misinform unsuspecting public; it also portrays traces of campaign of calumny by some mercenary hirelings hell bent in destroying my name, for reasons best known to them.

Having read with keen interest the completely self-serving spirited attempt to destroy my person, it has become imperative and timely that a rejoinder is written to state the fact clearly. I want to state here categorically and emphatically that though I was at Computer Village to address some issues, but I was never arrested for stealing 10 iPhone 7s, as stated by the writer of the story, the matter has since been resolved by the Nigeria Police; and the issue of me stealing phone is devilish from the said writer.

Furthermore, It is rather unfortunate that the said writer will amount to cheap blackmail to deceive the unsuspecting public with a view of gaining cheap popularity.

It is germane to note that I am a charitable, humane, and grass root person, who has exhibited selflessness in communal service, which have used as a veritable tool for social development.
