Orezi reacts as IGP orders immediate arrest of Seun Kuti

The order from the Inspector General of Police (IGP) for the immediate arrest of Seun Kuti has shocked and elicited a reaction from singer Orezi.

Seun Kuti, a well-known singer and political activist, was captured on camera yesterday, May 14, in the late hours of the day, beating a police officer on the streets of Lagos.

Seun Kuti was arrested for assaulting a law enforcement officer after the viral video was requested by Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Baba Usman Alkali.
