News broke on Tuesday that movie producer and Toyin Aimakhu’s ex-husband, Seun Egbegbe was arrested for stealing 9 iPhones at a shop at Computer Village, Ikeja.

However, in a statement on Wednesday, Egbegbe said the news was false, stating that he was at home ‘chilling’.

Egbegbe while debunking the story which had gone viral said,

“The story is pretty laughable and better left in the court of public opinion.

“Ordinarily, I 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.”

But an online TV, GoldMyne TV has said a visit to the Area F Divisional Police Station in Lagos revealed that the actor was behind bars.

The platform wrote, “Earlier today Seun Egbegbe Allegedly released a statement stating he is chilling in his House, well that can be true because ( Who ever steals can lie ).

“However #GoldmyneTv Visited Area F Divisional Police Station today and we can categorically tell you that Seun Egbegbe is CHILLING Behind Bars (Police Cell ) and not in his House as he claims.”
