Assault: Seun Kuti not wrong for slapping police officer – Sister

Motunrayo, a sister of Grammy-nominated afrobeat artist, Seun Kuti, has said the music star is not wrong for assaulting the police officer in the viral video.

Recall that Seun Kuti was arrested and detained after he was captured in a viral video assaulting a police operative in uniform.

But reacting via a video message making the rounds on the internet, Motunrayo insisted that Seun was innocent.

She said, “I don’t know why people are annoyed that I’m supporting my brother. You people are supporting the police, so I should follow you and support the police or what?

“I don’t think my brother is wrong. My brother is not wrong. Nobody gets up and just slap somebody without any altercation.”

She added that police brutality wasn’t new to her family, stressing that they are not afraid.
