Popular Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye of PSquare music group, as made a plea to the police on behalf of his colleague, Seun Kuti, following an altercation with an officer that occurred recently. 

Seun was arrested on the orders of the Inspector General of Police, Baba Alkali, after a video of him assaulting a police officer went viral online. 

Seun explained that the altercation arose when the officer attempted to harm him and his family.

In response to the incident, Peter took to his Twitter page and appealed to the Nigerian Police Force to accept his sincere apologies on behalf of his colleague’s outburst and to show mercy.

According to Peter, the situation was regrettable, and Seun’s family may have been in danger, which caused the singer to react instinctively.

“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”
