UK-based gospel singer Muyiwa Olarewaju shared his experience of being wrongly treated as a suspect after an attempted robbery. Earlier this year, he was nearly robbed around 5:30 a.m. when a young white man smashed his car window. After reporting the incident to the police, Muyiwa expected justice but was shocked to find himself under investigation instead. Despite being the victim, he was called in for questioning and had to hire a lawyer, as the police pursued an investigation into “affray,” even though the suspect was not apprehended.
The case lasted three months before being dropped due to insufficient evidence.
