The State Police Command Spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this development on his handle, stating that the DJ faced charges for assaulting officers, resisting arrest, and obstructing them in the discharge of their duties.

“For assaulting police officers, resisting arrest, and obstructing police officers in the discharge of their duties, Iwuagwu Ebere, aged 29, popularly known as Commissioner DJ Wysei, has been remanded by the court in Kirikiri Correctional Facility until May 8, 2024, while her bouncers who aided and abetted her were remanded in Ikoyi Correctional Facility,” Hundeyin stated.

However, DJ Commissioner Wysei has vehemently denied these allegations, asserting that she was granted bail on the same day as her arrest.

In an interview on another platform, she expressed her confusion and frustration over the false accusations and reports of her remand.

“The policewoman who claimed I assaulted her denied it in court, and the case was struck out,” DJ Commissioner Wysei stated. She explained that the incident began when she arrested a promoter who had caused her significant distress and owed her a substantial amount of money. After the promoter’s wife begged for leniency, she accepted an offer to settle the matter out of court, prioritizing her brand’s reputation over financial compensation.

The settlement included compensation for missing items, payment for her performance fees, and a public apology video from the promoter. However, the process was delayed due to the promoter’s inability to secure a suitable surety.

DJ Commissioner Wysei recounted a dramatic turn of events the day after the settlement agreement. Upon returning to the police station, she discovered the promoter being driven away in an unmarked vehicle without her knowledge. When she attempted to find out what was happening, she was attacked by a female police officer, who broke her glasses and caused an eye injury.

The altercation allowed the unmarked vehicle to leave the premises with the promoter. Despite her immediate appeal to the Area Commander to investigate the assault, DJ Commissioner Wysei found herself detained. The next morning, Thursday, April 18, 2024, she was taken to court based on a petition filed by the police, accusing her of assaulting and obstructing officers.
