“Domestic staff at Davido’s home have been taken to the station to give their own account of what happened, I wouldn’t call that arrest yet,” he further said.

“After they all give their accounts of what happened and after preliminary investigations are over if anyone of them is found culpable, the person will be placed under arrest.”

Reports say that Davido and his wife Chioma Rowland were not at home when the incident happened. They have also so far not said anything about the incident.
