After the video went viral, Seun was arrested by the police on charges of assaulting an officer of the law who was in uniform. Seun narrating what ensued leading to this aggressive act revealed that the police tried killing him and his family by hitting the police vehicle on the track of his car which left his daughter traumatized, hence his action.
After his arrest, Seun Kuti was charged to court, and the Lagos police pleaded with the court to land Seun Kuti a 21 days remand in custody as the assaulted officer is in a coma at an undisclosed hospital. In new information, the Lagos Chief Magistrate collides with the Nigerian police to Amend the order and include a Drug test on the musician a reaction to the drugs could have caused his aggressive behavior.

“When I told people that police go use seun shine.
dem dey laughs, person wey dem wan set ablaze

@pecheli09.
“The oppressive nature of the Nigerian government is reaching everybody. This is what we have been fighting to change, but some people prefer tribalism instead freedom. Let's continue to enjoy the oppression and
impunity”.
@OyinAtiBode
“And since when is weed smoking or even drug
addiction or use a crime? Of course, Seun smokes
weed like his father and everybody knows that. Why
do you need to test him? Even if you do and he tests
positive, how is it a crime? They were taking weed
from his house and marking them as evidence….to
what exactly? Every sane country goes after the
seller, not the user”.
