Seun Kuti, the son of the late Fela Anikulapo Kuti, is facing potential charges for assaulting a police officer.
A viral video showed the afrobeat singer attacking a uniformed officer.
The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has directed the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State to arrest Seun and conduct a thorough investigation into the incident.
If found guilty, Seun will be prosecuted according to the investigation’s findings.
Seun claimed on social media that the officer attempted to harm him and his family, but he has since forgiven the officer and agreed not to press charges.
However, Seun’s actions have received criticism on social media.
Another Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, also recently had a run-in with the police and was arrested and taken to court before being granted bail.
