Nigerians Should Thank God Seun Kuti’s Body Didn’t End Up In 3rd Mainland Bridge Water- Kogi Police Boss 

The Commissioner of Police in Kogi State, Hakeem Adeshina Yusuf has responded to the comment posted by Reno Omokri, former Media Aide to Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on the controversies trailing the arrest of Seun Kuti.

Omokri, in a post which was shared on social media, condemned the treatment of the Afrobeat singer by the Police since he was arrested last Monday.

Following the order of Inspector General of Police to get him arrested after slapping a uniform officer on the Third Mainland Bridge, Seun Kuti voluntarily submitted himself to the Lagos command headquarters in Ikeja where he was handcuffed and detained.

Responding to his arrest and what he has been made to go through since he was detained, Reno Omokri said his trial is more of institutional bias on the part of Nigeria Police Force towards the Afrobeat singer.

Omokri noted that all of the punishments Seun had received demonstrated that the police had been malicious in their handling of his case.

“When the Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Yunusa Ari, disappeared, did the police invade his house? 

“Yet, even after Seun Kuti surrendered himself to the police, they handcuffed him, paraded him like a common criminal, and raided his home. All because he slapped a policeman, which is, at worse, a misdemeanour. This looks like malice. This looks like institutional bias,” Reno had said.

The post from Omokri was uploaded on Facebook by one of his followers where it caught the attention of Kogi State Police commissioner.

Reacting to it, the police boss said Nigerians should thank God that Seun’s body didn’t end up inside the Third Mainland Bridg.

He revealed that all Seun was going through in police detention was fair because his body was not being searched for in a river or other water bodies after allegedly slapping a police officer.

“Come and slap police also. Thank God, his body was not being looked for in the third mainland bridge waters,” the police commissioner said.
