Police Shouldn’t Have Handcuffed Seun Kuti – Shehu Sani

A former senator, Shehu Sani, has reacted to photos and video showing the moment Seun Kuti, son of Afrobeat maestro, Fela Kuti, was arrested.

In the early hours of Monday, the musician turned himself in to the police, where he was placed under arrest.

The youngest son of Fela showed up in company of his lawyer and a family representative.

Reacting to the development, Sani, in a tweet, said there was no need to handcuff the musician, who voluntarily surrendered himself.

“Even though I have been handcuffed for many years, there’s no reason to handcuff Seun who has voluntarily surrendered himself,” he tweeted.

While some Twitter users agreed with Sani, others said, Kuti deserved the treatment.
