Popular singer, Adekunle Temitope, widely known as Small Doctor has gotten into trouble with the Nigeria police, as he was arrested on Monday in Lagos and paraded for threatening to shot a policeman and unlawful possession of firearm


The Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Edgal Imohimi, according to Sahara Reporters, shared that the singer was arrested in Oshodi.

Small Doctor was already in trouble with the State CID, Panti, for causing injuries to four persons with his gun during his shows at Oshodi.

“You would have thought the incident would caution him but surprisingly today, I got a situation report from traffic monitors at the Oshodi expressway about four unknown gunmen in green unregistered SUV.

“He allegedly brought out a weapon and threatened to fire the policemen. Fortunately the DPO and other policemen at Shogunle intercepted the suspects and arrested them.

“When they were brought here it was discovered that one of them was the same Adekunle Temitope a.k.a Small Doctor with three others and they were arrested with a functional rifle, a cartridge and some personal items.

“I am concerned as one will expect that a popular musician like him would be a role model but his character of gangsterism is nothing to emulate.” the commissioner said.

The CP further urged celebrities to stop involving themselves in issues of gangsterism and conflicts that do not portray their image positively.
