Nigerian musician Seun Kuti arrested for assaulting police officer
The Nigerian musician Seun Kuti, son of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti, was arrested for allegedly assaulting a police officer, Lagos state police said on Monday.
An order was made for the arrest of Kuti, a Grammy-nominated saxophonist and singer, on Saturday after a viral video showed him on a road, shouting and apparently pushing and smacking a police officer, police said.
He turned himself in early on Monday to the headquarters of the Lagos state police command, accompanied by a lawyer and a family representative, a police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, said on Twitter.
âHe has been placed under arrest in line with the law,â he said.
âThe ongoing investigation will be detailed, transparent, professionally pursued and justice will be manifestly served for all parties involved.â
Kuti, 40, is the youngest son of Fela Kuti, who drove Afrobeat â a powerful mix of funk and jazz â to global attention in the 1980s.
A charismatic figure and activist who was bitterly critical of Nigeriaâs military regimes and corrupt elite, Fela Kuti died in 1997 but retains a fervent following.
His son started playing in his band, Egypt 80, at the age of nine and took the helm when he was 14, after his father died.
In 2019, Kuti and the group were nominated for a Grammy, the top US music awards, for their album Black Times in the global music category.
