Some fans of an upcoming artiste, King of Madness, have lambasted Lagos State Police Command for parading the heavily-tatooed artiste as a suspect.
King of Madness’s fans, who expressed anger at his arrest on Facebook, criticised the police for judging him by his appearance.
WITHIN NIGERIA had earlier reported that the artiste was on Wednesday paraded by operatives of the Lagos State Police Command at the State Police Headquarters in Ikeja.
The artiste said he still doesn’t understand how he landed at the police command.
“I still don’t know. They told me that I was being taken to meet a DPO. I just saw myself here this morning. I still don’t understand what’s happening,” King of Madness said.
Reacting to his arrest, one Julian Anyanwu said, “They should free him. His name is Uche, aka Suruche. He’s an artist. Right from our secondary school days, he likes acting crazy but isn’t one.”
According to The PUNCH, another user, Nweoke Mary, wrote, “They should leave the guy. He is Innocent, what did he do. Suruche01 that is his Instagram handle. It is very clear he is not a thief. Na crime to get tattoo. is the guy profession. You don’t expect him to dress like a pastor. this is no excuse. Where is it written that you can’t have tattoos and tie your hair. They should leave this guy’s trying to provide for themselves and go for the main criminal.”
One Owoeye Ademola-Oba claimed that the suspect was well known in the Ikotun area of Lagos.
“He drives a Toyota Solara and drives so crazy around the neighborhood.. Even the police in that axis knows him well. He’s an artiste!” he added.
Another fan, Ekeh Richard, wrote, “I listened to his interview; he communicates well and fluent. His only offense is tattoos but is having tattoos an offense? Nigeria police sef.”
