Share

The Nigeria Police has given reasons why popular Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti was handcuffed upon arrest.

Speaking on the incident, the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, explained that the handcuffing was part of standard procedure followed during detentions.

A concerned citizen, through a Twitter post, had questioned the rationale and necessity of handcuffing Kuti and also demanded to know whay Kuti’s shoes were collected from him?

However, Adejobi said that the collection of the shoe was not related to the handcuffing incident.

Seun Kuti was ordered to be arrested by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Usman Alkali Baba, following a viral video that showed the Afrobeat musician violently assaulted a police officer in uniform on the 3rd Mainland Bridge in Lagos.

Kuti, who has been granted bail by a Magistrate court in Lagos was initially taken into police custody and later moved to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) located in Panti, Lagos, for further investigation and prosecution.
