Seyi Law explanned why he slapped security guard at Lagos hotel –

Comedian Seyi Law has responded to the report that he slapped a
security guard at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos state earlier last
week. A report by Vanguard had it that the comedian slapped a security guard, named Peter Ethan, across the face three times.


Seyi was accosted by Ethan, trying to inform him of an alternative
route he could take to ease vehicular movement and avoid traffic when he
(Seyi) angrily flew out of his car and dazed the security guard with
three resounding slaps that

got him staggering for balance. The rib cracker has however explained his own side of the story, tendering an apology. On his Instagram page @ seyilaw1, he wrote, “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.
