Hundeyin wrote “Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, in the early hours of today turned himself in at the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja, in company of his lawyer and family representative.
“He has been placed under arrest in line with the law. The Command appreciates the public for their concern and assures that the ongoing investigation will be detailed, transparent, professionally pursued; and justice will be manifestly served for all parties involved.”
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, had ordered Seun’s arrest after a video of the musician assaulting a policeman surfaced online.
“The IGP has equally ordered a speedy and full investigation into the remote and immediate cause(s) of the assault and prosecution of the suspect accordingly.”
“IGP Usman Alkali Baba assures Nigerians that acts of contempt/disdain for symbols of authority will not be tolerated while offenders of such hideous crimes will be surely brought to book,” the spokesman for the Nigeria Police Force, Muyiwa Adejobi had said in a statement.
Kuti had earlier written, “He tried to kill me and my family. I have the proof but I no dey chase clout. He has apologised and I have agreed not to press charges. Make una mind una business make the poor guy no lose him job.”
Seun also said he would give the police full cooperation to uncover who is wrong.
“I welcome the investigation and will give my full cooperation! I also pray to the IG that whoever is wrong should be indicted,” the musician said in a second Instastory.
THERE COULD BE NO JUSTIFIABLE REASON FOR HIM TO HAVE SLAPPED THE OFFICER. TAKING THE LAW INTO HIS HANDS IS LAWLESSNESS AND NO EXCUSE FOR HIS LAWLESS ACT.
Two wrongs does not make any right, rather further makes it wrong.
THE MANAGER CLAIMED THE POLICE WAS DRUNK DURING THE ACT. THEREFORE, AN IMPAIRED FELLOW WAS CONFRONTED BY A SUPPOSED SANE UNIMPARED CHILDISH ACT.
A sane person who joined an impaired policeman in a public nuisance show must be deemed equally imbalanced.
Seun Kuti AND THE POLICE OFFICER ARE BOTH PUBLIC NUISANCE, WITH Seun’s CASE MORE DEBILITATING. THOUGH SEEMS JUST WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE IRRATIONALITY OF MENTAL DISORDER OF THE STATE OF MIND OF THE OFFENDER AGAINST THE STATE.
Seun Kuti has neither MORAL nor LEGAL right and or standing to slap assault and roughen anybody, let alone an officer of the state.
THERE IS NO AMOUNT OF SPINNING AND OR PEEVING THAT COULD EXPLAIN THIS AWAY.
An absolute LAWLESSNESS and NONSENSE!
