That is too small

Let them Jail Seun for 2 years

Fela self go jail many times

Seun and others will learn that attacking Police is not a human right

As much as I want him jailed, the government wont do that: they cant risk creating an unnecessary martyr. But, He would certainly smell his yansh.

Someone had to be a scape goat, so why not Seun that was dumb enough to boast about slapping many policemen online because he is a son of the cannabis smoking junkie musician father.

That slap was uncalled for. I am on the side of the police on this one.

First, Seun Kuti puts himself in the 'den' of police. He set himself up for this persecution. He had his 'cowboy' show on the road and now, the cops are having their shenanigans in their 'den'. They will test his patience and try to provoke him to behave violently to be recorded on video.

Second, Seun Kuti should remain calm and humble as long as this lasts because he badly needs this course in the University of Hard Knocks. He needs it to know the dangers of unnecessarily getting angry at the least provocation. Come to think of it, the more you watch that assault video, the more you think about what Seun Kuti's wife and domestic aides go through in his hand. Nothing justifies jumping out one's car and slapping and assaulting another person on the road because he bumped your car. Now imagine Seun Kuti bumping into your car and you getting out to slap and assault him like he did to that police officer. Seun no go gree until he has the last say.

Third, Seun Kuti often sounds too superficially hot-headed as a social critic. He has the Intellectual/philosophical content but his hot-headedness needs to be tempered. This travail will help him. The reality is that every true social radical tries to stand on the side of the law because being on the wrong side gives the government or the politicians you criticize the golden opportunity to cow you.

Fourth, he also needs to know that drug use can make you ride a tiger. Riding that tiger landed in the hot detention cell. This is an opportunity to learn.

It is no more than what the reality of life is.
It's really about privileges. Some have it more than others.

Let me broaden your perspective. Had it been it wasn't Russia that invaded Ukraine you think the U.S that claim to be world police will sit down and be watching from afar?

Seun kuti doesn't have himself to blame. Yes he did wrong but the police response has exposed them for what they are... psychotic bullies. They wear uniform and are given power by the people but choose to use that power to oppress the same who they are supposed to protect. In the end, the police will only end up proving nigerians right that the police don't deserve to wear that uniform

How does all this negate what Sowore said that the police aren't looking for justice for their colleague but revenge?

We know Kuti is your fellow igbobian(weed smokers) but must you defend the atrocities of someone just because he is close to you. You who wants to be president is this how you want to be president of a country where police officers are constantly assaulted by people?
Iā€™m really beginning to dislike this Sowore

Did Sowore say that what Seun did was right?

How many times have policemen been assaulted by civilians? Pls compare that by the number of times civilians have been unlawfully assaulted by policemen?

What has happened to the policeman who killed a lady lawyer at ajah in front of her husband?

What happened to the another policeman from the same Ajiwe police station who killed a young lad a week before?

One thing I have come to understand about a society is that it mirrors itself in every system, virtually every individual and organisations. Nigeria is a society in shambles and you should never expect a system that operates under the Nigerian system to be any different: the police, water system, power sector, oil sector,... name it! Unfortunately, the average Nigerian is the one running these systems. So if those of us that are always condemning the police were to be police officers, we would probably be worse. Why? We are programmed to follow the corrupt trend. Even comments I read on Nairaland can be very myopic. I rest my case.

Its funny how hypocritical Nigerians are bashing Seun Kuti for the assault on the police man. You Nigerians, when will you have sense?

The Seun Kuti that should be celebrated as a national hero and have his giant statue placed at a strategic location in Abuja and Lagos for slapping a police man. The same police that have slapped you several times and abused you, lied on you and your sons and daughters, sent you to prison for something you know nothing about, abused you and turtute you. Beat you in the presence of your wife and children. The same police that will stop you on the road and throw igbo into your car and arrest you for it. Same police that will force you to open your phone, see your chat with your American

customer for a web design job and label you a Yahoo boy, then kill you while you were trying to prove your point.

You all come online to say "Can he try that in Europe or America" Are you nuts? how dare you say such nonsensical thing? Do American and Eurpean police men treat ordinary citizens like they do here in Nigeria?

One man out of the lot of you gathered the courage to slap some sense into the head of these mofos and you still come online to bash him. During endsars protests, youths came out en mass to burn police stations and murdered several police men and you hailed them as heroes but you are reprimanding Seun Kuti for slapping the same people. You bloody hypocrites.

Salute @Saasala.
Thanks for your introspection. The depth of your insight is outstanding. Thanks for the courage to speak your truth even though it is unpopular at the moment due to sentimental reasons.

For the Nigerian police, this should be a moment of reflection to change your evil and criminal ways of humiliating, bullying and demeaning innocent Nigerians. It is a teachable moment to change your ways and do better by the people- Seun kuti is the monster that you made.

I know the terrifying experience of NPF/police using their police van to violently bump my vehicle from the rear without provocation, damaging the vehicle in the process and putting the life of my entire family including my pregnant wife in danger. I was so shocked and shaken from narrowly escaping death for my entire family...

They drove away laughing at my misfortune and when I try to approach them, they corked their guns all the while taunting me, even though I did nothing to warrant such harrowing ordeal <believe me it was hell>. I felt so helpless and impotent as they drove away laughing at my misfortune and near death experience- a little bit of me died during he ordeal.

If not that, I have an overaching need to attend to my distressed pregnant wife, I would have have same confrontation with them. Given half the chance, I would have slap them too.

Now, I have PTSD and atavistic fear whenever I encounter them, even as a law abding citizen. Till date I do not have the courage to drive at night, especially, through police.check points.

BTW, it's just a matter of time, police breakfast be served again and again and everybody will chop breakfast.. and this post will be the "shebi I talk am"
I see videos of police brutality everyday on twitter. It's high time the police reflect on the monsters they made (and still making) before inviting unfortunate incidents, anarchy and chaos. It is just a matter of time.

Talmabout demoting violent criminal police officer without charging them to court to face justice. No handcuff, no mugshot, no court charges...
...in your beloved USA they do charge them to face the court of law, so don't bother me with the cliche poor American analogy.

Last Last,, everybody go.chop breakfast.

The seun who broke the law has been charged to court , the oversabi should let court decides what will happen next . This type of unruly behaviour by seun brings back echoes of what led to the carnage at the kalakuta republic decades ago .Thank God two people did not lose their head at the scene of the assault .
