The Magistrate Court sitting in Yaba, Lagos state has remanded Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, for 48 hours in police custody for allegedly assaulting a police officer, IGBERETV reports.

At his arraignment before Magistrate Adeola Olatunbosun, the prosecution led by S. A Adebese and Morufu Animashaun asked the court to remand the defendant for 21 days pending legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions. However, Kuti’s counsel, led by Femi Falana, SAN, asked the court to not remand his client, stating that they were not aware of the remand application.

The magistrate after listening to both parties requested five minutes of recess stating that she needed to deliberate on her own. Upon her return, the magistrate said she would not rely on police investigation hence she remanded the defendant for 48 hours in police custody.

Delivering her judgment, she ordered that the singer be remanded for 48 hours with the police and then be granted bail in the sum of N1 million.

“Court has decided to override any public opinion and pass the judgment of the court. Following the remand application presented before the court, I am advising that the case file be duplicated and sent to the Directorate of public prosecutions within 72 hours. The defendant is hereby remanded for 48 hours in police custody to allow the police to conclude their investigation. After 48 hours, the defendant will be granted bail in the sum of N1m with two responsible sureties, a three years tax payment receipt that is verifiable; one of the sureties must have a landed property within the court jurisdiction.”, she ruled.

She adjourned the case till May 23, 2023, for mention.

At least there's hope for him

I said it here. Jamboree is over. He will settle out of court soon and pay fine instead of prison terms.
If you are nobody in this country, please don't try that at home, unless by the time they are done with you, you would have grown yellow beard.

NasoLifeBe!!!

Direct or indirect, some ppu are above the law in some shit holes country

Please I need money. I'm ready to do anything. My education is at stake.

E good to get good lawyer

Drugs overdose have disappeared

Just like I predicted earlier on.

At the end of the case, he will be fine, being a first time offender and ordered to do community service.

the police have been waiting for this for years
they are ready to overflog it to any extent

..but why didn't the police say Seun was joking just like in the case of MC agbero threatening voters ?

Nigeria has a way to humble people. This guy would just be giving revisionist history, you can never be like your father, activism cannot be inherited


Children of musicians cannot inherit the singing genes, from frank Sinatra, to dimian Marley, to osadebes children. It is a gift. Whether in the movie industry or anything. Find your own path and stop acting ßtupid

If you are big, you can use your influence to make a policeman literally worship you, even if you are in jail. Slapping a policeman is unnecessary.

Stay out of trouble if you no get ground





Mehn see as E come humble....

Thank God he has been granted bail. I dont know why these people from that side always feel happiness whenever something bad happen to us. I have been seen some of their reactions since yesterday. Seun may be flawed but he is ours and we love him even in his ultimate weakness. Thank God he has been granted bail. He will use the opportunity to think over and make good decision as from now on. We are not all perfect, everyone is prone to errors. We must never laugh at another person's predicament cos we dont know what tomorrow hold for us. God bless all omoluwabi

He deserves whatever he goes through. It's a slap in the govt's face.

any one with work opportunities abeg
nothing bad reach to be unemploy in this country kaii

I hope that police guy that beats a man like a child has been remanded also.

I only hear he was sacked or demoted.
Was he arraigned like this?

The judge quickly entered her chambers to call her superiors before delivering judgement.

Meanwhile, the uncouth uncivilised drug induced old for nothing will learn one or two lessons from this.
Nobody is above the law

q

make hin head corect

All the media show na staged,no be today fa!

Okay

I know he will be released on bail.
It's bailable offence.
