A video clip has surfaced on social media showing Nigerian singer and instrumentalist, Seun Kuti, bragging about how he had slapped many officers of the Nigeria Police Force.
OsunDaily News reports that the son of Afrobeat maestro, Fela Kuti, has been trending on the internet following his altercation with a police officer who he pushed and slapped on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos.
The Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has since issued an order of arrest of the musician.
