After assaulting an officer, the youngest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti is being held in police custody for 48 hours.
Seun Kuti, 40, does not deny doing it.
According to Nigerian media, the musician felt compelled to act because the officer “tried to kill me and my family… He apologized, and I agreed not to file charges.”
On Saturday, a police chief ordered Kuti’s detention, and the musician turned himself in on Monday.
On Tuesday, he appeared before the Yaba Magistrate Court in Lagos, where he was ordered to be held in police custody for 48 hours before being bailed.
The case has been postponed until next Tuesday.
