Why I Assaulted A Police Officer – Seun Kuti

May 14, (THEWILL) – Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti, who was captured on video assaulting a police officer, has explained what led to his action.

The incidence captured on video showed Seun 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.

According to him, the officer tried to kill him and his family.

“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 (You all should mind your business so the officer will not lose his job).”

Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, has ordered the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, to arrest Seun.

Baba equally ordered a speedy and full investigation into the remote and immediate cause(s) of the assault and prosecution of the suspect, accordingly.

The IGP reminded Nigerians that acts of contempt/disdain for symbols of authority will not be tolerated and that offenders of such hideous crimes will be surely brought to book.
