Timaya was reported to have absconded after noticing what he did, and all efforts from the victim’s sister to reach him proved abortive as he also went ahead to block them on Instagram.

According to Osinubi Omowumi, via Instagram, the music star rammed his car into her sister after she challenged him for damaging her car.
