Yoruba Movie Producer, Seun Egbegbe Denies Stealing iPhones

Hmm, it is not just easy to believe some of these celebrities again as the CEO of Ebony productions and former lover to Nollywood actress, Toyin Aimakhu, Seun Egbegbe, was said to have been involved in theft crime recently.

Seun was alleged to have been caught in the early hours of today where he had gone to popular Computer Village in Lagos, and decided to raid a shop on the pretence of wanting to buy a phone.

It was leant that he stole 5 iPhone 6+ and 2 iPhone 7 but was caught after the sales girl at the shop noticed that some things were missing in the shop and he was given a hot chase.

He was said to have been beaten to almost coma by Ikeja boys, but for the immediate intervention of the Police. He has since been detained at the station for investigation.

But Seun who is not comfortable with the said allegations has come out to deny ever being involved in any theft case as he clears the air on the issue even with pictures that so much looks like him?

"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 I phone 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. Finally, I wish to inform the general public to discard the report. I am presently at home relaxing!"
