Advise Nigerian Police To Obey Court Ruling On Musician, Seun Kuti – Defence Team Tells Lagos Deputy Commissioner Of PoliceThe legal team of Nigerian afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti, has tackled the Lagos State Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Simon Lough Asamber, for accusing the team of engaging in media trial and defence of Seun’s assault case with the police.
Reacting to Lough’s statement, Seun’s legal team in a statement by Olumide-Fusika questioned why the senior police officer still failed to honour his own advice by rather reaching out to them instead of publishing the statement on social media, which is available to the whole world. “Otherwise, as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, the unethical implication of your exertion and conduct in court today would not have been lost on you. To your knowledge, the bail granted to Mr. Kuti at the court session of Tuesday 16/5/2023, was not on the application of the police or its legal team.
“In your elevated position as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, you ought not to be caught in any scheme having the potential of making a mockery of the rule of law and exposing the court administration of Justice to ridicule.
“Section 9 of the law states: “As from the commencement of this law, the police shall refrain from parading any suspect before the media”. “Mr. Kuti submitted himself to the Police so that he can go answer in court for the allegation of assaulting a policeman. It is the Police who, rather than taking this simple and straightforward step, has decided to create a circus and make a “national emergency” of the matter.
