The Lagos State Police Command has revealed why it
handcuffed Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti.
Recall that Kuti, who is currently in police custody, was
handcuffed and taken to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence
Department, SCIID, in Panti for further investigation and possible prosecution.
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Usman Alkali Baba had
ordered his arrest after he was captured on video assaulting a police officer
in uniform on 3rd Mainland Bridge.
Some Nigerians had berated the police for putting him in
handcuffs despite that he voluntarily surrendered himself.
A concerned Nigerian on Twitter asked the Nigeria Police
Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, if the handcuff was necessary.
But the Police said it was standard procedure.
@Ajinomoto wrote: “Was the handcuff necessary and why
collect his shoe? NPF sha”.
Adejobi responded, “It seems you are not familiar with
detention. With this question. Anyway, it’s a normal procedure before
detention.”
