It has been recently gathered that officers of the Lagos State Police Command on Tuesday, stormed the Akin Osiyemi residence of Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, off Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos for a search, seizing his wife’s mobile phone in the process.
According to an eyewitness who pleaded anonymity, the policemen took the musician along during the search, while they combed his apartment.The eyewitness said, “The police officers invaded Seun’s home here on my street, Akin Osiyemi, and he was in the vehicle with them while in handcuffs. They stormed and searched his apartment. But they also seized his wife’s phone before driving off with Seun Kuti.”
Meanwhile, an impeccable police source at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, Lagos, claimed that the Afrobeat legend was humiliated and threatened by aggrieved police officers while detained in a police cell on Monday.“Some of my colleagues who were aggrieved over the incident took turns in humiliating and threatening Seun Kuti on Monday.“The officers told him that he would have been dead if they were the ones he slapped during the altercation with their colleague on Saturday.“He wasn’t even allowed to make a written statement until about 8 pm on Monday night, and he refused to give a statement after he was brought to the counter.” 
However,the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin did not respond to inquiries concerning the incident despite phone calls and text messages to his telephone line on Tuesday.
Kuti, in a 12-second video clip that went viral on May 13, 2023, had assaulted a policeman on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos State.
