WEST AFRICA WEEKLY
Famous DJ Tim Westwood, who is facing serial allegations of sexual misconduct in the UK, has fled to Lagos, Nigeria, to rebrand himself as a chef.
In July 2020, a British media company, Global Media & Entertainment, the parent company of Capital Xtra, came under public pressure for failure to investigate multiple online allegations of his predominantly Black female fans.
In response to the allegations, Westwood stated:
I can confirm that such allegations are false and without any foundation.
With no actual evidence to nail Westwood, the Metropolitan Police Force in 2022 confirmed it was investigating a case of sexual offences filed by complainants, which dates back 40 years.
Westwood left the UK for Ghana, as it appeared in a 2022 post he made on social media.
Westwood is currently in Lagos, Nigeria, where, in a recent video, he is living to reinvent as a chef, even though he has a show lined up for the weekend at Oniru Private Beach, Victoria Island, scheduled to be held Saturday, 20th of April, 2024.
Upon his recent reinvention as a chef, many Nigerians familiar with his modus operandi have since raised the alarm on social media, calling for his extradition to the UK.
