Seun Kuti’s coworker Peter Okoye pleads with the police on his behalf
Following his recent interaction with an officer, well-known Nigerian artist Peter Okoye of the PSquare music group has appealed to the police on behalf of his colleague Seun Kuti.
After a video of Seun punching a police officer appeared online and the singer claimed that the conflict started because the officer tried to harm him and his family, Baba Alkali, the Inspector General of Police, issued an arrest warrant for Seun.
In response to the incident, Peter Okoye sent a message on his Twitter page pleading with the Nigerian Police Force to accept his sincere regrets for the appalling outburst and to show mercy.
He claimed that Seun’s family might have been under danger, which is why the singer reacted so naturally in the unfortunate circumstance.
He wrote
“Quite an unfortunate incident and from reports, it seems Seun’s family was in danger hence the altercation.
When you understand what happens when a man is put in a situation to protect his family from any form of danger, our emotions get the better of us.
I ask and plead that the #NigerianPoliceForce accept our unreserved apologies for the unfortunate outburst and tamper justice with mercy.
#Family🙏🏽❤️ #LoveLeads”
