However, he did not disclose the location of the incident.

Kanyi Daily believes that a comprehensive statement would be issued by the command soon.

Meanwhile, we earlier reported that Nigerian singer, Buju BNXN  allegedly assaulted a policeman during an altercation.

In a video that circulated on social media, the 25-year-old singer could be seen shirtless, with just his singlet, arguing and confronting some police officers who blocked his car.

Although it’s not clear what led to the confrontation between the singer and the police officers, Buju took to his Twitter page to brag that he spat in an officer’s face and it felt so good. The police reacting to his tweet revealed that the police force would punish the singer for assaulting the officer.

In a twist, BNXN denied assaulting the officer, saying his tweet was misconstrued. He also disclosed that his life was threatened.
