The musician has been placed under arrest in accordance with the law, following a serious assault on a police officer. The incident, which was captured on video, has garnered widespread attention and condemnation.
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, CFR, swiftly responded to the assault, ordering the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, to arrest Seun Kuti without delay.

Seun Kuti, known for his activism and Afrobeat music legacy inherited from his father, the legendary Fela Kuti, has had a significant influence on Nigerian and international music scenes. However, the recent assault has sparked a public debate on the importance of respecting law enforcement officers and the consequences of violent behavior.
As the investigation progresses, the Nigerian public eagerly awaits the outcome and expects that due process will be followed. The incident serves as a reminder that no individual, regardless of their status or profession, is above the law.
The assault on the police officer by Seun Kuti highlights the need for improved dialogue and understanding between citizens and law enforcement agencies. It is hoped that this incident will spark constructive discussions on ways to foster mutual respect and cooperation between the public and the police, ultimately leading to a safer and more harmonious society.
