police<\/a> had on May 16 applied for remand of the musician over alleged assault on a police officer.<\/p>\nOn Wednesday, Mr Cyril Ejiofor, who led a police legal team to the court, applied to the court to allow arraignment of the singer.<\/p>\n
He said that the application was to formally bring charges against Kuti.<\/p>\n
Kuti\u2019s counsel, Mr Femi Falana (SAN), however, opposed the application.<\/p>\n
He argued that the police refused to send the case file to Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice, as directed by the Chief Magistrate, Mrs Adeola Olatubosun.<\/p>\n
He urged the court not to let the police to prosecute and investigate at the same time.<\/p>\n
Falana urged that the order given by the court should not be disregarded.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe police should duplicate the case and transfer it for DPP\u2019s advice,\u201d Falana said.<\/p>\n
In her ruling, Olatubosun held that she needed the DPP\u2019s advice before proceeding with the case.<\/p>\n
She adjourned the case until July 3 for mention.<\/p>\n
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the police allege that Kuti assaulted a police officer on May 13 on the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos State.<\/p>\n
According to the police, Kuti slapped an inspector after driving dangerously on the bridge and deliberately
\nblocking a moving police vehicle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
