Seun Kuti arrested, taken to SCIID for slapping police officer

Seun Kuti, an afrobeat performer, has been shackled and transferred to Panti’s State Criminal inquiry and Intelligence Department, SCIID, for further inquiry and probable incarceration.

This was revealed in a video posted on Monday by Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, on his verified Twitter profile.

Remember that the IGP, Usman Alkali Baba, had ordered Kuti’s arrest after an argument with a police officer on the 3rd Mainland Bridge last week.

He was captured on video assaulting a police officer in uniform.

However, Sowore said Kuti had fulfilled his promise to cooperate fully with police investigations by visiting the Commissioner of Police in Lagos with his lawyers.

He wrote, ”After visiting the @PoliceNG Commissioner in Lagos earlier today, @realseunkuti was arrested, handcuffed and taken to SCIID in Panti by @PoliceNG officers apparently for further investigations and possible detention over his altercation with a police officer on the 3rd mainland bridge. @RealSeunKuti fulfilled his promise to cooperate fully with police investigations and accordingly visited the Commissioner in Lagos with his lawyers.”
