Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye of P-Square has apologised to the Nigeria Police on behalf of his colleague in the music industry, Seun Kuti, who had a conflict with a police officer on Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos.
Okoye also appealed to the police to temper justice with mercy over Kuti’s action, whose video has gone viral.
A video of Kuti assaulting a police officer hit social media on Saturday, and many Nigerians have condemned the action.
Consequently, the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba has ordered the arrest of the music star.
Speaking on the incident, Okoye took to Twitter on Sunday and condemned the action as he pleaded with the security agency to handle the case with utmost mercy
Okoye tweeted, “Dear @PoliceNG, What Seun did was wrong! Please temper justice with mercy!”

— Peter Okoye MrP (@PeterPsquare) May 14, 2023 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…
