The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, has ordered the arrest of Seun Kuti, son of Afrobeat maestro, Fela.
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday night.
Recall Seun was seen in a now-viral video assaulting a police officer on Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos.
The video has continued to spark hostile reactions as Nigerians are crossed over the actions of the singer.
“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.
