Nigerian singer, Seun Kuti, may be arraigned today after he turned himself in days after he was caught on camera slapping a police officer on the third mainland bridge.
The musician spent the night in police custody on May15, as he was detained as police couldn’t conclude their investigation into allegations of assault leveled against him.
Reports have it that he was moved from the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters in Ikeja to the State Criminal Investigation Department Yaba for further interrogation.
Meanwhile, Ayo Moses, Seun Kuti’s manager has disclosed that the policeman assaulted by the Afrobeat musician was drunk at the time of the incident and put Kuti’s family in danger by hitting their car with a police truck.
He said; “On the said day, Seun was driving with his family on the third mainland bridge when he was suddenly hit from behind by a police truck being driven by an officer who was reportedly drunk.
“This act from the officer led Seun’s daughter into a sudden shock, as she was visibly shaken by the hit. So, this made Seun pursue the truck, double-crossed it and forced it to a stop.
‘‘When the police officer got down from the truck, instead of apologizing, he was arguing with Seun, which provoked him to slap the officer. People should realize that men in uniforms also provoke civilians. Immunity is no excuse for impunity.”
