In a post on his Twitter page on Monday, Force Public Relations Officer, Force Headquarters, Abuja, Prince Olumuyiwa Adejobi, described Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti’s act against an officer of the force as evil and criminal.
“Assault: Seun Kuti under interrogation at the State CID Panti. We speak and act against attacks and assaults on Police officers, its evil and criminal,” Adejobi wrote on the microblogging platform.
Naija News reports that Seun was seen in a viral video earlier publicly assaulting an officer of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba Alkali, fumed at the incident and ordered his arrest.
However, on Monday morning, Seun fulfilled his promise to cooperate with the police to investigate the incident by visiting the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa.
A subsequent video surfaced on the internet showing the moment the son to legendary Afrobeat maestro, Fela Anikulapo Kuti was been led to the police criminal investigation department in handcuffs.
