The popular Afrobeat star, Seun Kuti who submitted himself to the police has been arrested “in line with the law” by the latter.
The image maker in charge of the state police command, Benjamin Hundeyin in a statement on Monday morning said “Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, in the early hours of today turned himself in at the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja, in company of his lawyer and family representative.”
The police spokesperson also stated that “He has been placed under arrest in line with the law.”
“The Command appreciates the public for their concern and assures that the ongoing investigation will be detailed, transparent, professionally pursued; and justice will be manifestly served for all parties involved.”
Recall that Seun Kuti had in a viral video slapped an unidentified policeman in a yet to be ascertained circumstance.
The musician however came out to claim that his life was under threat, when he slapped the policeman.
The clarification from the musician came after the Inspector General of Police had ordered for his arrest.
The police also stated that justice will be ensured and manifestly served in the case.
