Nigerian Afrobeat legend, late Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s son, Seun Kuti has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly assaulting a police officer.
The State Police Command’s Spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this on Monday, May 15th, 2023 via his Twitter page.
He 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.”
However, reacting to questions on why the singer is placed on cuffs, Hundeyin said; “Because the law empowers us to place on cuffs any suspect who has shown propensity for violence and propensity for evading justice.”
