The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Alkali Baba Usman, has ordered the arrest of Fela’s son, Seun Kuti, after he allegedly slapped a policeman.
According to police spokesman, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi, the video is unbelieveable.
He said: “The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, has ordered the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command to arrest Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti, who was captured on video assaulting a police officer in uniform.
“The IGP has equally ordered a speedy and full investigation into the remote and immediate causes 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.”
