Seyi Law Breaks His Silence on Reports of Slapping an Eko Hotel Security Guard

Earlier today, there were reports that popular comedian, Seyi Law assaulted an Eko Hotel security guard named Peter Ethan.

According to Vanguard, Seyi slapped Mr Ethan across the face three times, as he was trying to drive out of the venue of Kiss Daniel’s New Era album launch very early Monday morning, May 16th, 2016. It got so bad that a crowd began to build and and wanted to met out jungle justice on Seyi who immediately left the scene leaving Mr Ethan in tears and reeling from all that had happened.

The guard told Vanguard’s Potpourri, “I was only trying to redirect him through an alternative route which my boss instructed us on, to avoid traffic jam as guests drive out.

“To my greatest surprise, Seyi Law just jumped out of his car and began to hurl abusive words at me. While trying to explain to him he just suddenly gave me three dirty slaps.

 This has never happened to me before, is it because I’m putting on a security uniform? I didn’t expect this kind of attitude from Seyi Law”.

Now, the ace comedian has given his own side of the events via his IG page. Read his words:

I am not writing to defend a mistake I made, but so people would know that I am also prone to faults. However, I will oblige you with my own side of the story.

The Kiss Daniel’s Album Launch show ended and I got in my car to drive out like everyone when I got to the security guy who directed me to the other gate which I did. I got to the gate and was asked to go and take the main gate, driving back, I stopped by the security guy and told him, “make una dey follow una selves talk na,  you dey direct us go there, another person dey direct us back” and his response was, ” how many people don turn back”, looking away.
I replied him that even if I was the only person, I no reach to tell you and he said, abeg dey go jor. I was shocked, I said so I not fit follow you talk and he said, dey go. I looked and saw another security not far off and decided to get down from my car to talk with him, unfortunately, as I opened my car, this security guy pushed the door back at me, hitting my leg, I would not know his reason for this, but it got me angry and I slapped him thrice as I got down.
I know Eko Hotel has CCTV and if there was any around there, they can release the footage(s). I am not justifying my anger and reaction, but please pardon my behaviour. I duly apologise for the action I took.  Thanks for reading.
