Court fixes Date For Seun Kuti’s Arraignment
Popular Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, who allegedly assaulted a police officer, has been fixed for September 27, before a Yaba Chief Magistrate’s Court in Lagos.
Recall, that the Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, was arrested by the officers of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCIID) after he allegedly assaulted an Inspector of Police, Mohammed Aminu attached to the Police Training College, Ikeja, while on official movement and in police uniform, on third mainland bridge, Lagos, on May 13, 2023.
The Chief Magistrate’s was absent so the court fixed September 27, for the musician’s arraignment.
The police, through his lawyers who include: Morufu Animashaun, Samsideedn Adebeain, and Cyril O, approached the court on May 16, 2023, tó charge Seun Kuti to court.
After concluding police investigation, one of the police lawyers, Mr. Cyril, who was in court for the musician’s arraignment, said that the DPP had advised that the afrobeat musician be prosecuted for assault. However, neither Seun nor any of his lawyers was in court.
Consequently, the court Registrars fixed September 27, for the musician’s arraignment.
