Comedian Seyi Law slapped a security staff of Eko hotel and Suites while
leaving the venue after attending Kiss Daniel’s album launch concert over the weekend.
The comedian was reported to
have slapped the security guy several times after an altercation over the route
he (Seyi Law) should take to drive out of the venue.
Now, the security staff, who
has been identified as Peter Ethan has come out to say his side of the story.
According to Vanguard, he recounted the incident thus:
“I was only trying to re-direct 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.”
“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.
“On
my way out of Eko Hotel, 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,” the comedian added.
