Police Deny Seun Kuti Administrative Bail Over Assault

The Lagos State Police Command confirmed that Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, would not be granted bail and will be taken to court for arraignment for assaulting a policeman on duty in Lagos on Saturday as captured in a video that went Viral online.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Lagos, Benjamin Hundeyin, told Journalists that the musician, who turned himself in on Monday, was handcuffed and detained, spending the night in custody.

“Seun Kuti is still in our custody; he’ll be arraigned once investigation is concluded,” Hundeyin confirmed the development to our correspondent in a telephone interview on Monday night.

Seun Kuti, the youngest son of the late Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti, submitted himself at the State Criminal Investigation Department, popularly known as Panti, in Yaba, Lagos State, on Monday morning alongside his Lawyers and members of his family.

On his Legal team were a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika, alongside a lawyer from Falana and Falana Chambers, Femi Akinyemi.

The police released a video clip and pictures showing the musician in handcuffs while being paraded by police officers at the SCID, Lagos.

Trouble began on Saturday when a video of the musician assaulting a police officer on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos State went viral.

In the 12-second video, Kuti, who wore a red shirt and a white pair of trousers, was seen pushing a policeman, who stood beside a Toyota Hilux police van. He then proceeded to slap the cop, as he shouted, “You dey craze, you dey mad?”

A motorist, who filmed the incident from his car, was heard saying, “Omo na Kuti o. Na better news be this o.”
