this is also one of the problems and a major reason why many Nigerians no longer respect the police uniform .

olumite2014:
The IGP should just keep his mouth shut, where was he when all his DPO are allocating many police escort to people that doesn't deserve it.
I know some musician tht have as many as five Police escorting them every where they go, some Yahoo boys even as as much as two.
In most countries, if you have enough money and need private security, you have to contact some private security company, you pay and your personal security will be their services. The government security are to protect lives and property of the public, they are not to be generating money for government by protecting some rich individuals.

Lightway:
How does this guy have money?

What job does he do?

You dey ask how the son of Fela take get money. This una unwarranted entitlement to Igbo prosperity only no dey let una know say other people are doing better than you are.

His shows abroad are sold out, has more Grammy nominations than any Igbo man that ever lived. Na the rubbish Amaka give me love music wey una dey listen to dey work una.

For his actions, he should be arrested tried and made to face the Law. There is no justification for assault on a police officer…not even in the act of self defense. This is too senseless from him. I think his Igbo is too much lately.

Nothing justify assaulting a uniformed police officer on the road. When you do, you hold our constitution in contempt and that should be appropriately weigh inby the authority without holding back to deter further absurd attitude.

We let the world know when officers of law assault us. We cry to the high heaven for everyone to see how ridiculous it is, then we shouldn't shy away from reciprocating the smartness when the case turn around. Police officers are not robot, they are our sisters and uncles, which means we are part of them and vice-versa
This is not a jungle fa?!

Abolodje:
The police don fucck up be that and he deserve am abeg release Seun Kuti Asap.

Wait until u know exactly what happened...

onatisi:
it is another thing to be wrong, admit, and correct but it actually becomes acutely annoying to be wrong and still continue to deceive oneself that one is right and what everyone is saying is that even if seun description of the incident is true, he should never have SLAPPED AN OFFICER IN UNIFORM, THE NORMAL THING TO DO WAS TO HAVE REPORTED THE CASE AND MADE SURE THAT THE OFFICER WAS DISCIPLINED,

there is no justification for is actions and reactions no matter the provocation. so if an American police officer does the same thing he will have the effrontery and boldness to slap him and say because the man did something bad?

I am in agreement with u that there is no justification to slap an officer bt I am saying it can happen in certain extreme situations and the individual can be pardoned or it is overlooked. it the officer did something erroneous or irresponsibly that put ur family in danger even in America not everybody will chill and be cool about it. U cannot predict people's temper.

A military man once tried to mishandled woman's sick son and the woman was ready to fight him to the last. It is a survival and martenal instinct.

An officer must work within his guidelines in every situation possible.

The problem with Nigerians is an officer is doing his job or instructing u for whatever reasons to avert something and they are already getting rude and misbehaving rather than being calm and cooperative.

This is different from where an officer for no reason endangers life.

Very doubtful if na Fela truly born Seun.

Rubbish. How many idiot policemen have been arrested for assaulting innocent people.?
The idiot definitely deserved it and more

MasterJayJay:
What if he was just joking with the police officer?

Police will also crack jokes with at the station na

Norville:

Be true to urself.

God1000:
Please arrest him, he should be locked up, nobody is above the law.

He won't dare try such thing outside Nigeria, he's gonna ruin himself and his family reputation

Assaulting a policeman or any law enforcement agent is a serious offence.

But I heard some police officers wash the toilets of Mc olomu, he even assault them openly and nothing is being done. Lawless country for lawless, doomed politicians

blowjohn:

georgeakins:

Kanu will rot in jail.

You don't care about ibos but you care about kanu. Animal

This uncut guy cup don finally over full.

Which part of threatening to kill his family did you not see?

And dont say he wont dare try such thing outside Nigeria, if the police never harrased em, it would have a normal day for both of em.

Even in the US the constitution provides for self defence against police.

Know the law, know ur right.

Because he has the balls to stand his ground abi? Human right na our property, The Govt can choose when to dash us our property.

Who arrest the guy that slapped a police man severally, when dey bashed his Lamborghini?

Abeg!

God1000:

There is a thing line btw stupidity and bravery and i think u not the best to judge what happned.

dfrost:
Seun sef...

Is he trying to be in the news for the wrong reasons or what? Because I'm not understanding this lack of civility.

This is gross stupidity abeg.

The guy that slapped a police man repeatedly, for bashing his Lamborghini go jail? Video evidence dey na.

Felabrity:
You don't assault a police officer

Video evidence even dey

He go tey for jail

Was the Lamborghini guy locked up? He slapped a police man repeatedly for bashing his car.

Una no dey dis country nii?

Gangster1ms:
Excellent.
Let him be locked up longer than kanu or the notion that this country is against igbos becomes clear

blowjohn:


Haba bro. As long as Dem dey report them, police always bring such members to book

big lie. It's like you are a police officer which is why you are spouting such nonsense like you don't know your fellow criminals in uniform

shonepa:

This is stupidity not bravery. The cop represents Nigeria 🇳🇬, he slaps a cop, he slaps Nigeria 🇳🇬.

You are not seeing the bigger picture, init?

If the police Man had gun down the bastarddds. Some uselesss foolls we be saying justice for seun kuti

No even go there, i no dey smoke anything drugs. A police man slapped me in the station becos i told em hes a fraud and i returned the favour, they tried locking me up; the entire neighbour hood came to the station that night.

The DPO had to come that night to release me and apologised to good neighbours that stood for me. He told other men to lock the police offerer up in the cell.

We returned the favour years later, when unknown youths tried to burn down the station during Endsars. Why? The DPO believes in Justice and good police work.

Moral of the epistle...... at some point in life u know when to stand ur ground agains police oppresion/extortion.

I never even knew how people got to know i was in the station. The rest is history

Skyfornia:
Say no to hard substances...he must truly be under an influence.

Let's see how this will go...

The officer has a very high level of self control

God1000:
Please arrest him, he should be locked up, nobody is above the law.

He won't dare try such thing outside Nigeria, he's gonna ruin himself and his family reputation

What a disappointment. But why am surprised.
Like father, like son. TALENT WITHOUT CHARACTER.
He is probably under the influence of drugs.
Irrational,stupid and always erratic and unstable.
He must be charged and jailed.
I commend the policeman.
He was cool,calm and collected dealing with mad, lunatic seun kuti

Like i said u not the best to judge the situation. You be IG? Abi u be Judge? Just a simple statement.

Thats your interpretation with little facts; who does that?

Show me more info about the case? Is there any updated press release from the police?

Or u one of those saying u cant defend your selve against a police officer? Ok na

dfrost:

Seun must be arrested and prosecuted. Ridiculing our officers is shameful.

Lol am not.
But av read in the media if there arrests and picture proofs

I don't know why many people in this country don't think, when police are harassing the citizens what as been done? You guys need to wake up. If is me I will blow is face... I hate all this Nigeria police and law enforcement agent, they are all evil...
