Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika, who is the lawyer representing Seun Kuti, a renowned afrobeat star, has accused the police of retaining his client's case file despite a magistrate's order to send it to the Director of Public Prosecutions in Lagos State for legal advice. According to Fusika, the police have been parading Seun Kuti at various police stations in the state without charging him, seemingly awaiting the opportunity to present a defense. In a statement, Fusika expressed his frustration with the police's actions and emphasized that Seun Kuti voluntarily surrendered himself to face the allegation of assaulting a policeman. He called out the police for turning the situation into a spectacle and questioned when his client would be formally charged given the circumstances. Fusika urged Lough, a lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria advising the police on the matter, to comply with the magistrate's court order and send the case file to the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions for evaluation, potential charges, and subsequent prosecution in a court of law.
