Reports indicated that his arrest was related to a complaint of blackmail filed by music promoter David Mensah, a.k.a. Davido GH.
The arrest, captured on video, had a visibly upset Showboy confronting the officers at his residence.
He was heard questioning their presence and refusing to go with them, insisting they did not show any proper arrest documents.
Speaking directly to the officers and his online audience, the musician argued that he could not be taken away without seeing official papers authorising the arrest.
