Egbegbe was mobbed on Tuesday for allegedly stealing nine iPhones, after which he was taken to the Area F Command in Ikeja.
It was learnt that the state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, had visited the Area F Command, where Egbegbe was being detained, and was briefed on the investigation.
Egbegbe’s problem started at the Computer Village, Ikeja, after he was accused of stealing the iPhones from a shop.
After buying the phones, he reportedly told a sales person in the shop that he wanted to pick money from his vehicle outside. He allegedly attempted to escape with the phones in the waiting jeep when the sales boy raised the alarm.
However, he was said to have told the police that he wanted to pick the money when the sales boy screamed for help and alerted the mob.
But Egbegbe on Wednesday denied the incident.
The statement, which was credited to him and went viral, stated that he was neither arrested nor beaten up by any mob and was at home relaxing.
A police source at the command told PUNCH at about 3pm on Wednesday that the film-maker was still being held for interrogation.
The source said, “He (Egbegbe) is still in our custody. His associates have been debunking the allegation. He is still in detention. The CP even came to interrogate him this afternoon (Wednesday).”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said Egbegbe was still under investigation in the command, adding that the public would be informed on the outcome of the investigation today Thursday

end time egbegegbege
ReplyDeleteI said it na with all the grammar that impostor wrote yesterday. Be relaxing in police cell tape rule lo n ma fi won ewon e
DeleteBy now he would have been wearing back of boxer or brief behind bars. Thief,ole,barawo,onyeoli.
DeleteThe video is even out. Onye oshi phone
DeleteThe issue is the guys isn't doing so bad financially. If truly he dated some of this yoruba actresses and bought cars for them, even though he is doing illegal business, for a man like that, he shouldn't stoop low to start stealing phones! it seems to me he likes stealing what i think he can afford thus making him a clepto. Someone said he also steals recharge cards. This are things common criminals steal. The man is simply a notorious clepto. He can't help it. This is no case for police. He needs psychological assessment for a period or better still the African way, he needs a river bath!!!
DeleteOmo Ale ni Bobo yen. See as shame dey catch me for him. Sure his juju failed him. Ojo gbogbo ni ti ole,ojo kan ni to lohun. Please charge him to court Asap
DeleteShame on him.
DeleteIt could even be that he jazzed toyin ooh!!!!!!! Chai!!!! And the disgrace of the year awarrrrrd gooooooos tuuuuuu egbebegbegeeeees👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
DeleteEveryday is for the theif, one day for the owner.
DeleteSeyi what are you saying? Someone stole 10 phones worth over 200k each and you are saying it's something hehe can have.. Who dash him 3m to spend on phones?? Of he had succeeded he would have gone and sold it and made money to take care of all the actress he has been dating. I even suspect he steals with guns and rpb peoples home. That's how all these guys will be thieves in the night and big boys during the day
DeletePlease he a big thief, who feels he can go anywhere and steal. The fool has forgotten that Nigerians are going through extreme hardships. They will not tolerate anyone taking food from their family's mouth. Not now or in the future. He is a big disgrace, show me your friends and I will tell you who you are. How can ladies date criminals!!! Yuck!!!😠😠😠😠
DeleteSeyi Etaje, did I jst hear you say 'clepto'?! I laff in pidgin!!!
DeleteIt's like you didnt read the part wre com village guys sai 'e don dey do am teytey'... do u knw wre he got the cars from?! Or 'cos they've nt nabbed him for stealing cars yet?!
Siddon dre they help am wt him case!
Ifahia clepto dre!!!
Chilling behind bars 😂😁😀😊😅😄
DeleteIncluding stealing recharge cards....common!!!! Am not taking sides but I feel it's really strange. Stealing phones everyday and recharge cards cannot help him live a very lavish life. Perhaps he is a real armed robber and not just a petty thief.
DeleteKleptomaniac is a disease
DeleteI wonder why we are all shaming toyin as if she knew he was a thief while they dated... This can happen to anybody... Have u ever visited prison to see the least people u expected to see there? From ex classmates to those you thought has travelled out of the country... Anyway its embarrasing to be associated with a terrible hashtags... All that glitters might be shit covered in broken glasses...
DeleteHe just may be a kleptomaniac. Kleptomania is actually an incurable medical disease caused by an imbalance in the brain; a klepto doesn't steal because they can't afford it because 10 times out of 10, they actually CAN afford it. It's just a compulsion that forces them to steal. Take the Hollywood actress, Winona Ryder for instance. There was a period she was busted for shoplifting jewelry that she could damn well afford as she was heavily into the movie scene back then. He needs to seek help, pronto!
DeleteJust this thiefry actually happened? The race to live the big life is real men.
ReplyDeleteAnd i ddnt wanna believe this before
Delete*so*
DeleteHahaha ufu,i knew he didn't write those statements,o bu onye oshi phone ma burukwa one osi Bekee
ReplyDeleteIt must have been one of those touts following him upandan that wrote that rubbish, just to divert our attention. Ndi oshi ndi oshi
Delete😂😂😂
DeleteKarma is a bitch...
ReplyDeleteToyin will be laughing by nw! See what girls die for! Shu!!! E wo oju olé!!!! Lol
ReplyDeleteLaugh ke. She will be ashamed her name is been tagged in the whole mess
DeleteLaugh ke...
DeleteBeing associated with him whether past or present is already a shame. ..
I bet she's ashamed
Tueh!!!
Laughing where?? She will bebe so ashamedashamed. She left someinesomeone with little scandal for a thief and was even posting it every where
DeleteSeun, what do you even need 9 Iphones for?
DeleteWhy didn't you leave the phones at the shop and go pick up your cash in the car?
Being labelled a thief is one of the worst things that can happen to one.
This indiscretion of yours will forever hunt you. It will affect your children,wife, family, friends and you will keep regretting this nonsense.
The Internet never forgets!!!
When you go to prison too much you begin to see it as a second home I.e Fela and our own SeunE, Uncle said he's home chilling invariably could be referring to the comfort of the prison walls... Your PR team needs to stop writing and issuing statements!
ReplyDeleteUre cray cray😂😂😂😁😂😁😁😀😀😀
Delete😁😁😁😁
DeleteSavage! Dang!! Lol
Deleteoya na
ReplyDeletebecause of phone
He should own up and apologise. Or pay for the phones he took. Too bad he got exposed.
ReplyDeleteHe should just Apologise and that's it
DeleteHe doesn't have to pay for the phones cause the owner took them back.
Just own up to your shit and keep it moving Seun.
Ole lasan lasan.
So he really stole those phones.... wonders shall never end! Shame
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, this is serious. He's chilling in the police cell.I pity him cos he has damaged his career.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless Everyone.
What career?
DeleteFilm making is just a cover up
Stealing is his actual profession.
Does he av one? First I heard of him is thru his relationship with Toyin Aimakhu
DeleteWhich of his career. Last I checked,thief no dey Get shame. Ladies get in here,always ask for criminal records b4 u date a guy before we hear stories like" toyin Ex-lover is an armed robber". Chai toyin don Suffer
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteNo be even criminal records only.. always pray fervently!
DeleteSo many juju guys here and there!!! Na juju dem dey use do yahoo n yahoo plus nah! Na juju dem dey use rob too cos we c all d exhibits (charms, guns) when they get caught!
Pray fervently! Prayer is key!!!
This doesn't look good at all. After releasing that poorly written statement. The statement was just an attempt to cover the truth with irrelevant grammar. I wonder what the next story will be
ReplyDeleteSo this is true?...
ReplyDeleteSee the kind of person Toyin opened her pussy to...
A petty thief and a liar!...
Tueh!...
Toyin tomato..hahaha...she saw range na and smalll cash...tufia!!!! Anyaukwu!! Onyeori!!!
DeleteMeanwhile the NPF can eat their yeye statement, we all know this will be settled as usual...NPF aiding and abetting criminals since forever.
DeleteMy sister. Showsnger taste in men. Ewwww
DeleteMy sister? Shows her taste in men. Ewwww
DeleteI tell you Queen. Birds of a feather flock together. A person's level of "razzness" must be quite high for one to even consider talking to someone like this guy talk less of sleeping with him.
DeleteHonestly this is quiet sad and shocking.
DeleteKwakwakwakwakwa. But she didn't know he is an onye oshi na.
DeleteEven the guy's face is so off!
DeleteLooking like an agbero!!! I shame for Toyin abeg!
So, he is a thief after all.
ReplyDeleteI just pity his children and how they'll be reading the news knowing their dad is a thief. Tufiakwa!
Thought he said he was chilling in his house.
ReplyDeleteGuess prision is his second home.
He lacks sence of dignity.
Hmmmm, this is serious. He's chilling in the police cell.I pity him cos he has damaged his career.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless Everyone.
see Toyin's ex-lover chai! Toyin you don suffer.
ReplyDeleteThief thiefer thiefest...
ReplyDeleteole oler olest
Stupid ugly man
Says fab mee
E be like say that day im juju dey do mannequin challenge. Or person dey use his head wash plate for spiritual realm.
ReplyDeleteAbeg your PR people need to be retrained. There is a PR tool called SILENCE. Use it when applicable and don't run your mouth like a broken tap when the person is as guilty as FUCK. Do you know how many people this illiterate nit wit has stolen from? Appaz this is not the 1st time.
I feel so sorry for his children. Hope they are not following in his footsteps.
His argument is lame! If he really had the money for the phone in the car as purported by him, he would have gently handed it over to the mob before the case spiralled out of control.
ReplyDeleteJust own up to the theft and stop trying to save an already dented image.

ReplyDeleteWho cares Sha
ReplyDeleteI must be rich by force man
Instead of you to risk money do MMM
See big embarrassment
ReplyDeleteThe way instagramers be tagging Toyin Aimakhwu on this issue eh, I just pity the babe. That's why it's good to take your time and observe someone closely for a while and not rushing to date them. Do your homework!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, for one to date someone like Seun Egbegbe says a lot about the person.
#I'm outtie
Exactly
DeleteOmo see gobe
ReplyDeleteSo who is at home relaxing?
ReplyDeleteOmg,but why steal,many of this celebrities are thieves, you all will be disgraced soon
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity
ReplyDeleteA big disgrace, thank God Toyin is no longer with him
ReplyDeleteHis team should have just shut it instead of releasing that shit they did, still can't believe that he tried stealing those phones. To think that he claims to be one big boy.
ReplyDeleteIt is a pity, the internet never forgets. I can imagine how other kids would be booing his kids at school.
ReplyDeleteOh its now a sales boy not a girl anymore.
ReplyDeleteHave read too many versions of dis story.
One said it was a well performed role in a movie.
Another said its his enemy at work n dat he is in house.
And I do not like d way toyin was attached to dis story, if I were her I wld mk sure I cause whoeva carried my name alongside dis guy some distress.
My dear, she caused it for herself, its her cross till the story dies down
DeleteBabe should have piped low for sometime, heal and get her self esteem back before jumping into another relationship...
Just negodu the human being
I guess The shop has both sales boys and girls and they all ran after him .
DeleteInstead of him to lie low he was writing a long epistle for us
ReplyDeleteJohnson will be somewhere smiling from ear to ear.
ReplyDeleteSeun what a disgrace to ur generation
ReplyDeleteAh ole oruko buruku
The best solution for this guy is to leave social media and relocate cos the embarrassment too much oo
ReplyDeleteOju ole re
ReplyDeleteOnye oshi
ReplyDeleteSee his stupid face

DeleteWho knows,his village people might be at work
That statement yesterday was too good grammatically to come from Mr Sticky fingers. I thought he said he was chilling at home? If I hear! Stellz you for add the video of his arrest since the statement was denying all.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen anything like this!
ReplyDeleteI saw the video of this incident yesterday and it was only then I believed this story. Him Bn A tout? Yea. But a petty thief? Wonders! See his bloodied face.
And on top of all these,he still went and released a memo saying it wasn't him and to ignore his enemies and mischief makers.
I have never seen anything like this before!

ReplyDeleteEgbegbe Omo ale ole jatijati....

The jazz did not work in his favour at all. He practically wanted to wreck the business but thank God for the owner.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he would have distributed the phones in this manner:
Wifey- iphone 6
Him- iphone 7
Current babe-iphone 7
Ex babe Toyin- Iphone 6
Main goon- iphone 6
PR - Iphone 6
Maybe sell the rest and settle the other touts of his.
The video is on instablog i just watched it
ReplyDeleteThere is only one word to describe this kind of disgrace: CLASSIC! This should be a wake up call to all the men and women who lead pretentious, bogus lives. Watch your back. Pay day is just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteHi guys! Just came across an interesting new site for inspiration and personal development. Don’t just take my word for it. Check it out yourself: www.kayceeokuma.com. You’d love it!
