British-Nigerian actor, John Boyega, has denied being involved in an alleged assault suffered by popular On-Air Personality Toke Makinwa in December.
Makinwa, in one of her past Instagram posts, had criticised a restaurant named Crossroads, for watching idly while she was bullied by the bodyguard of the actor.
The On Becoming author in a lengthy post painstakingly described how she and her friend were assaulted and intimidated by Boyega’s bodyguard while she visited the restaurant.
The Hollywood star was a guest at Cool FM, On Wednesday and while he was answering questions from OAPs, Daddy Freeze, and Kaylah Oniwo, he sarcastically claimed not to know Toke Makinwa.
In a video circulating on the internet, the “Force Awakens” actor referred to Makinwa as “that” adding that he does not “roll with bodyguards”.
He said,
“I did not kick anyone out of the bar. First of all, who is that?” he said in an interview on Cool FM.
“I’m from London. I don’t know. I’m sure if I know the person is, I’d have known who she is.
“I’ve never had a bodyguard in Nigeria. I don’t roll with bodyguards. When I came in December, I came on holiday.”
“First of all, first of all, who is that,” he said. Well, he looked surprised as he claimed not to know who Toke Makinwa is and even referred to her as “that.”
Toke Makinwa is yet to reply Boyega’s assertions.
