The much anticipated Majorca Concert scheduled to showcase Seun Kuti to the world will now come up on new date that will be announced in the coming days, the organizers said.
Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti was scheduled to perform in Majorca, Spain, on May 20, 2023, but Police insistence on remanding the musician for another four days stopped him from attending the concert.
Seun Kuti was arrested after turning himself in for assaulting a police officer in uniform on the Third Mainland Bridge on Saturday, May 13, 2023.
The singer is seen repeatedly yelling at the officer, before hitting him in the face.
Shortly after the video surfaced on social media, the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba put out a statement ordering the arrest of the musician.
“The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, CFR has ordered the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command to arrest Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti, who was captured on video assaulting a police officer in uniform.
“The IGP has equally ordered a speedy and full investigation into the remote and immediate cause(s) of the assault and prosecution of the suspect accordingly,” the statement read.
