Renowned clergyman and former presidential candidate, Reverend Chris Okotie, has made an impassioned plea to the Inspector General of Police, Alkali Baba, urging him to exercise compassion and leniency in the ongoing saga involving the detainment of Afrobeat sensation, Seun Kuti.
FRESHREPORTERS recalled that Kuti found himself in police custody after an incident where he allegedly assaulted a police officer who had halted his vehicle on the renowned Third Mainland Bridge.
In his defense, Kuti maintained that he resorted to such drastic action due to the officer’s purported threats against his beloved family.
Speaking through an official statement disseminated by his dedicated media aide, Ladi Ayodeji, Reverend Okotie highlighted that Kuti’s demeanor can be attributed to the mounting pressure exerted by the country’s youth, who tirelessly endeavor to forge a more promising future for Nigeria.
With a profound sense of urgency, Reverend Okotie beseeched the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to exhibit a paternal benevolence towards Seun Kuti, considering his alleged transgression against an authorized enforcer of the law.
While anti-establishment sentiments are inherently unacceptable under any circumstances, Reverend Okotie emphasized that compassionate supervision stands as a testament to exceptional leadership qualities.
Acknowledging the ardent quest of the nation’s youth to establish a novel social order in Nigeria, Reverend Okotie expressed genuine concern that Seun Kuti’s abrasive actions deviated from the desired trajectory of progress.
In light of these circumstances, the clergyman earnestly implored the IGP to strike a balance between justice and mercy, ultimately exonerating Seun Kuti from all charges brought against him.
FRESHREPORTERS further reported that reverend Okotie also underscored the invaluable artistic contributions of both Femi and Seun Kuti, who serve as profound legacies bestowed upon the nation by the iconic Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
Their exceptional musical genre showcases an unparalleled creative artistry that is greatly appreciated by the masses.
In a final plea, Reverend Okotie appealed to the IGP, urging him to discover within his heart an ample reserve of grace to alleviate the gravity of this provocation.
In the spirit of benevolence, he invoked the divine blessings of the heavenly God, beseeching that they be abundantly bestowed upon the Inspector General of Police, symbolizing the plenitude of His divine grace.
