Extended Detention for Seun Kuti: Insights on the Latest Developments
On Thursday, Seun Kuti, the well-known Afrobeat singer, had his remand period extended by an additional four days as the Sabo-Yaba Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos assented to the request. Chief Magistrate Mrs. Adeola Olatubosun granted this extension until May 22, following an application made by Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mr. Simon Lough, who was accompanied by a team of police attorneys.
According to Mr. Lough, the extension is aimed at enabling more in-depth research specific to the case. Kuti faces charges of slapping a police inspector after reckless driving on Lagos State’s Third Mainland Bridge and intentionally obstructing a moving police vehicle. This alleged offense occurred on May 13.
Earlier, on Tuesday, Kuti was brought before the court, where Mrs. Olatubosun ordered his 48-hour remand. She stipulated that following this period, Kuti could be released on bail for a sum of one million Naira, provided by two sureties, one of whom must be a landlord within the court’s jurisdiction.
Despite objections raised by Kuti’s defense regarding the alleged mistreatment of their client by the police, the court has scheduled the next hearing for May 22. The prosecutor has been directed to create a duplicate case file for the state director of public prosecutions’ consideration. These developments mark the latest in a series of events that have embroiled Kuti in controversy and have stirred substantial public interest.
