Afrobeats singer, Seun Kuti, has turned himself in to the Lagos State Police on Monday, following the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba’s, order for his immediate arrest.
The arrest is coming after he reportedly visited the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, on Monday morning.
SaharaReporters reported that the last son of music legend, Fela, and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika made the visit together.
