April 19, (THEWILL) – Popular Disc Jockey, Iwuagwu Patricia Ebere, popularly known as DJ Commissioner Wysei, has been remanded by the Magistrate Court sitting at Eti-Osa to the Kirikiri Correctional facility till May 8, 2024, for assaulting police officers in Lagos State.
Spokesperson of the State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the development in a post on his X handle, disclosed that the DJ was arrested for assaulting police officers, resisting arrest, and obstructing police officers in the discharge of their duties.
“For assaulting police officers, resisting arrest, and obstructing police officers in the discharge of their duties, Iwuagwu Ebere, aged 29, popularly known as Commissioner DJ Wysei, has been remanded by the court in Kirikiri Correctional Facility till May 8, 2024, while her bouncers who aided and abetted her were remanded in Ikoyi Correctional Facility,” he stated.
It was gathered that the popular DJ, named as one of Africa’s five highly effective DJs in CNN’s Inside Africa, had gone to the Elemoro Division, Ajah on April 15th to report an alleged case of being defrauded by a man.
The accused was arrested on the same day and held in police custody.
Consequently, the police invited the DJ on Wednesday, April 17 to know if the suspect could be granted bail or the case charged to court since the law forbids detention of a suspect beyond 48 hours.
However, the DJ demanded from the suspect an apology to be recorded and posted online, which he declined.
Hence, the police resolved to settle the matter by charging the case to court.
It was further revealed that in the process of driving out of the police division with the alleged accused, the DJ allegedly blocked the entrance and assaulted female officers in charge of the case.
The police then arrested the DJ for assault, while the alleged accused was taken to court and remanded in prison custody.
