VIDEO: Seun Kuti Brags About Slapping Police Officers Before

A video has surfaced online showing Nigerian singer, Seun Kuti bragging about slapping police officers in the past.

It is not clear when the video was made, but it comes a day after the singer was seen in a viral video,  pushing and also slapping a policeman on the Third mainland bridge in Lagos State on Saturday, May 13.

Kuti, the youngest child of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti, while assaulting the officer was heard saying, “You dey crase, you dey mad?”, but the cop kept his cool throughout the whole confrontation.

The Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba subsequently, ordered the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, to arrest the singer for assaulting a police officer in uniform.

Alkali Baba equally ordered a speedy and full investigation into the remote and immediate cause(s) of the assault and prosecution of the suspect accordingly.

In the new video, Seun Kuti, in what appears to be a “Question and Answer” session, boasted in pidgin that he had slapped several policemen in the past.

You know how many policemen I don tear slap?” he said.

Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily reported that the singer has broken his silence over the assault incident.

In a series of posts shared on his Twitter page, the musician claimed that the policeman attempted to kill him and his family members. He said the policeman has apologized and he has forgiven him.

Kuti, who also reacted to the order for his arrest, promised to cooperate with the police authorities, stressing that whoever was wrong should be punished.
