Timaya has apologized for the hit and run incident he was involved in.
On Wednesday, the singer was accused of hitting a lady and ran away . The incident was said to have occurred in the Ikate axis of Lekki area in Lagos State.
But in an Instagram live session on Thursday, the Cold Outside crooner denied the allegation while narrating his own side of the story.
He also dismissed claim that he was arrested by the police over the incident , adding that he was only invited for questioning
In a follow-up post via his Twitter page, the 41-year-old apologised to the lady involved in the incident and her husband who he described as “an absolute gentleman.”
Timaya also said the idea that he could hit a lady and run away is “at best a big joke.”
“I sympathise with the lady and I wish the events had played out differently. Under no circumstances would I intentionally wish to cause anyone harm…,” he wrote.
“The media has sadly narrated this another way, but that’s not surprising. The thought that I can successfully stage a hit and run while in traffic and at this stage in my career is at best a big joke.
“I apologise to my fans and well wishers who must have perceived this differently and most importantly to the lady, her husband who has been an absolute gentleman through this ordeal and her family who is dealing with the shock. I wish her a speedy recovery, God bless her.”
