The Lagos police PRO, Badmos said that ‘although Wizkid’s allegation was criminal in nature, it was resolved through Alternative Dispute resolution (ADR). They agreed to resolve the matter out of court after Wizkid said he did not mean to threaten her life, rather it was an emotional outburst, with no motive to harm her’.

She further stated that the decision to settle the matter was not because of their status in the society but due to genuine commitment by the parties to resolve the matter.


She explained that ADR is a standard practice in the world applied to resolve crisis due to the high rate of conflict all over the world.
