The viral video of Nigerian Afrobeat Musician, Seun Kuti slapping a police officer has elicited vehement protests.

Already, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Alkali Usman Baba has ordered the immediate arrest of the Afrobeat Musician and subsequent investigation of the matter.

The story which is already in the public domain, has provoked reactions from Nigerians, with most people criticising the musician for his action as well as joining their voices to the Police Service Commission (PSC) calling for the immediate prosecution Seun Kuti.

Investigations by The New Diplomat on the social media platforms, showed that Nigerians and fans alike were disappointed.

Excerpts:

Arekamah Abuja:

He is stupidly arrogant. His father never slapped a security guard much less a police officer.

Olabisi Baker:

He will soon sing about Alagbon

Bolanle Bello

Is the Nigerian Police Force a saint organisation?

Benjamin Adeagbo:

Omode o m o’gun o n pe lefo. He had better ask his predecessors!

Akpos Warri Boy:

He wants to be famous by fire by force. That was not how your father made it. It pays to be humble.

Elvis @peoples parliament:

All these gra gra won’t take you anywhere youngman. Why not emulate your elder brother in character. The Era of gbagbati is over bro.

Kabiru @Kano:

I’m disappointed in you bro. I’m a great fan and always believed you will fit into the oversized shoes your late legendary father, Baba Fela left behind. By this your action, you are truly far from being there.

Tonia @Asaba:

Seun or whatever he calls himself should be prosecuted. It serves as a deterrent to others who may want to do same in the near future. It’s rather unbecoming of our so celebrities. Nigerian musicians and Actors are easily provoked by police officers.

Tunji @lagos:

It’s all noise. Even if Seun is arrested, he will be released in a jiffy. Big man talk to big man and big man understands.
