Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye a.k.a Mr. P has asked the Nigerian police force be fair in their judgment of Seun Kuti after he was arrested for assaulting a police officer on duty.
Recall that the inspector general of police on the evening of May 13, called for the arrest of Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti after a video of him assaulting a police officer surfaced online.
He made this statement on his page on the microblogging platform, Twitter.
In a series of tweets shared on his page, Peter said Seun was wrong but they should tamper justice with mercy. He said Seun was just a man trying to protect his family from danger but went overboard.
The 41-year-old warned the Netizens asking him to mock Seun Kuti to desist from such implying that nobody is above the law.
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
