The Police Service Commission (PSC), on Sunday praised the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, for calling for the arrest of Seun Kuti after assaulting a police officer.

Kuti later claimed that he attacked the security personnel because he threatened his family.
In a statement on Sunday by the PSC spokesman, Ikechukwu Anie, the Chairman of the Commission, Solomon Arase, stated that Kuti had no right to slap the officer irrespective of his offence.

“We must, as civilized people, explore established channels of complaints against alleged infractions by law enforcement officials rather than this uncouth behaviour of assaulting the country’s symbol of authority.
“We look forward to the prompt prosecution of Kuti to act as a deterrent to others,’’ Arase was quoted in the statement issued by
