Son of afrobeats legend Fela Kuti, Seun Kuti, proudly admitted to slapping several police officers in a recently surfaced video gaining traction online.The exact date of the recording remains unknown, but Seun confidently stated that his actions were a result of his self-awareness.”Some of these police officers will slap you, and then go on Instagram to explain themselves. Do you know how many policemen I have given a resounding slap?” he provocatively questioned in pidgin English.”They say it’s because you are Fela’s child. Don’t they realize that Jesus, being the child of God, could die for you? You must know your worth before you take action. So, I made my move because I know who I am…”Previously, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, had ordered the arrest of Seun Kuti after he was caught assaulting a police officer while on duty.In response to this development, Seun claimed that the officer had attempted to harm him and his family members. However, he also mentioned that the policeman had apologized and that he had forgiven him.”He tried to harm me and my family. I have evidence, but I’m not seeking attention. He has apologized, and I have decided not to press charges. Let’s all mind our own business so that the poor guy doesn’t lose his job,” Seun Kuti explained.The musician expressed his willingness to cooperate with the ongoing investigation, emphasizing his readiness to assist the police.
