MEN of the Lagos State Police Command are on the trail of singer Seun Kuti over assault on a police officer.
Some officers from the command, it was learnt, visited his Allen Avenue home this morning to arrest him but met his absence.
The officers who were stationed at his Allen Avenue home were later asked to leave the area.
A source who spoke to News Point Nigeria on condition of anonymity said the uniform men were replaced by plain clothed officer for a maximum surveillance on his residence and offices.
This newspaper recalls that the Inspector General of Police, Baba Alkali, ordered for Seun’s arrest after a video of him assaulting a police officer surfaced online.
The singer was seen pushing and also slapping the police man on Third Mainland Bridge yesterday Saturday, May the 13th.
Seun shared a post on his IG page last night where he stated that the officer tried to kill him.
He also promised to help the police to properly investigate what transpired between him and the officer.
Meanwhile, the officer he assaulted has reported to the command headquarters and has given his statement of what transpired between himself and the singer.
