The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, has ordered the arrest of Seun Kuti, son of Afrobeat maestro, Fela Kuti. Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday night.
Seun Kuti was captured in video assaulting a police officer in uniform. In the video which has gone viral, Seun was seen involved in a heated argument with the officer who was standing in the middle of a busy road.
“You dey craze! You dey mad!” he could be heard saying as he slapped the policeman. The video had generated different reactions. It is unclear what led to the action of the singer’s son. “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,” Adejobi said in a statement.
