Embattled Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, was returned to a prison cell on Tuesday morning after his trial for assaulting a police officer was adjourned.

Naija News understands that the Chief Magistrates Court in Yaba, Lagos State, presided over by Adeola Olatubosun, adjourned Seun’s trial after the magistrate absented herself from the court.

“Seun has been taken back to the state Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti,” SaharaReporters quoted a source at the court saying.

The source disclosed that the court sitting has been adjourned till Wednesday, May 23, 2023.

It was reported earlier that the Nigeria Police Force, Lagos State command, was plotting to ensure that Kuti was taken to the Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta, Ogun State, to certify that he is “mentally sick.”

Seun was said to have refused to give out his blood samples to the police for medical examination after the command got the magistrate to amend her ruling and do their bidding.

“The police are trying to take the Afrobeat musician to the Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta, Ogun State to declare him mentally sick. You can imagine what that can cause his musical career in Nigeria and abroad,” a source said on Monday.

Naija News recalls that Chief Magistrate Olatubosun had granted the police’s application for an extension of Seun Kuti’s remand for an additional four days.

Seun was on May 3 charged with assaulting a police officer on Lagos’ Third Mainland Bridge. According to the documents attached, the application was moved by Simon Lough (SAN), who led a police legal team to court.

He said, “The extension is to allow further investigation into the case. We could not conclude investigation in 2 days, we now ask for extra 4 days to enable us to conclude the investigation.”

Irony is when police first assaulted the father now the son is assaulting police.

He will learn his lesson
Don't slap a Police man next time

APC government promised us Police reform

Say no to drugs .

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is next to visit prison

When your father was using his music to fight the system you thought he was joking.

You left obi the lesser problem for a cocaine sniffer. Your luck has run out 🤣

This guy don buy market

Take him to the psychiatric hospital straight. We all know (judging from the blackness of his lips) that he's mad

But the question is all those who cheered him up when he slapped the policeman are all in their houses ;DAvoid problem as much as possible

good for him

The guy will humble at last

He should be released, because I know if he was a Muslim or Hausa he would have been released. Yoruba people should stand up against this, I am not saying stop the case release him let him go home and fight his case in court.
Look at me thinking Yoruba people are getting brave and fighting for each other, we are actually getting worse.
The men who killed Deborah are walking free doesn't that tell you something about these people and the one Nigeria.

It is always well with him.....

This is just one of d things about supporting injustice. If d head (PRESIDENT) was busy abusing human rights, freedom to protest, etc why won't d subordinate follow d path of the master.
Never u support evil bcs one day same evil would turn around and come back to u

if naija authorities wan reason ur matter , kai dem go finish the person .they want to use this guy as a scapegoat and to serve as a deterrent to anyone that thinks he or she can insult and assault the nigeria police .
the only escape route for him is to accept the mental fitness test, because with the video of the incident, there is no way he won't spend at least a month or 2 in prison .

My brother, dis is not all about being Yoruba or another tribe. Dis is govt that has being abusing human rights from day one. So tell me what u were expecting subordinates to do if not to follow d path of the master.

This matter don tie wrapper. These people don mean Seun Kuti.
" Do you know who I am?" na for mouth. If government reason your matter e don be for you be that.

You aren't Yoruba, and u wouldn't ever be,your last statement gave you out. We don't support indiscipline in Yoruba land,seun will be out soon.

The person who did the video caused all these

Psady:

You won't support indiscipline I think after looking at Tinubu's actions he must be an Hausa man or Yebo. Vote rigging is worse than slapping a police officer. Please don't come and preach about indiscipline here.
Old people que in the hot sun only for one person to use ordinary pen to twist figures. Those people could have just stayed home and be happy that to me is lack of discipline by people who want to discipline us.
His grand mother died because of us, his father the same thing let him go now. Chief Sunday lost his house for us till this very moment we Yoruba people are not saying anything while Hausa Herbsmen are killing our farmers. I am still looking for the pictures of the Fulani men who killed farmers in Oyo till today.

Moral of the lesson: Never Ever Slap Government Officials, they are the face of the government.

I hear say him don bcum prison daddy G.O

The person who did the video is a patriot,if not for the video maybe seun would have been bragging of how he use to slap uniform personel without repacursion

So all this is bitterness is all about outcome of an election,let's leave that matter to the court to decide,seun need learn a lesson from his uncivilised action.

No when you want to talk about discipline watch your mouth.

I think u shud slap an officer someday,then we will be able to ascertain those who stand for or against your action,we start with your self acclaimed Yoruba family.

As that PPRO said, they will really use Seun as scapegoat.

Because I want my Yoruba brother to be released means I am not Yoruba get ask for sense from the Lord.

Who are the opportunists?😏😏😏

If you fight grace, you face disgrace.

He just made the greatest mistake of his life by playing right into the hands of those unruly animals. No wonder they said he did not support Obi's movement to overthrow the ruling thieves in Nigeria. He's not thinking clearly like his great-father.

Do not justify nonsense.

Yoruba culture does not support disciplined. Do not hide behind Yoruba to prove distasteful impunity like other ethnic groups around the world.
