No fewer than 30 armed policemen on Friday morning invaded popular singer and EndSARS activist, Seun Kuti's residence, arresting a member of his family for yet-to-be-ascertained reasons.

SaharaReporters learnt that the policemen stormed the residence in a desperate attempt to pick up the musician, but they met his absence, as he was on a routine morning radio show.

According to a group, Movement of the People, who explained how the police harassment transpired, the arrest and harassment of Seun Kuti's family member were uncalled for.

The MOP Media Centre said, "Seun Kuti is one of the strategy figures of the #EndSARS Movement who remains vocal despite mounting attacks and intimidation from the oppressive Nigerian government. He is one of the leaders of the developing socialist-oriented political organisation of the toiling masses and youth, Movement of the People.

"This attempt to arrest Seun Kuti is not surprising, as it falls in the growing pattern of attacks and repression on all voices of mass and youth opposition to the hellish and oppressive situation in the country.

"The Nigerian ruling elites are now desperate to silence all voices speaking the truth to the masses and calling on the masses to get organised politically and boot the oppressors and their rotten system out of power."

The MOP added that the police were nowhere to be found in defending the people against kidnappers, robbers, bandits, and the Boko Haram terrorists but they are willing tools of the oppressive ruling elite.

"They look the other way when the rich oppressors close down our streets because of their parties and social engagements. The vested agenda of police these days is to attack and kill peaceful protesters, striking workers or stop meetings where the state of the nation is to be discussed.

"What is definite is that this crude attempt to silence Seun Kuti has failed already and would only help accelerate the building of the mass revolutionary political organisation of the toiling masses and youth," it added.

Let them find him wherever he is...he needs to tell us where he got the gun in his possession.

Ahhh

Na wah o...

The end of NIGERIA is near

And no one asked the police why they arrested the member of the family?

Instead it is because he ed ENDSARS...which could be true.

But it could also be true the member of the family was actually involved in criminal activities, unknown to Seun and everyone else?

Modifed

According to the report, they went to his house but missed him because he was on a radio programme....

Hmm...looks like oppressive government tactics again.

Nigeria Law says you cannot arrest someone else for another’s crime. But that only applies when you are in Government.


Then some people wanna tell me Nigeria will work someday. Keep dreaming for freedom.

awon omo ajino moto
Ki lo iru awa bayii

make government leave the kuti family alone

Na wa o
Can't we just allow 2020 end in peace

I don't care if he was an activist of EndSARS he needs to explain why he'd pull out a Gun on an unarmed citizen in the public and where the F did he get the fire arm from?

this is uncalled for

The arrest may be related to him pulling a gun on some party goers a while back.

Arrest his arse jaré! His father was hounded & harassed by the government for speaking truth to power, and not because he threatened his fellow citizens with firearms for inconveniencing him.

But if una no meet am for house why una kon dey arrest family member? One would have thought that the #EndSARS protests for don give NPF small sense. If not, una for know where and how to locate and arrest a suspect without using family as bait. Colonial police force.

Does it make sense to arrest ones family member when the person default? Why punish a person for another person's crime.

What is the relationship between the end sars movement and illegal possession or use of firearm?

There’s a clear collapse of order in Nigeria and people have become increasingly lawless.

Though, the police will easily look the other way if the arm bearer is in the north under the guise of being a bandit.

Anyways, every man to his own.

He has a case to answer... Who gave him gun ? Why did he pull out gun to shoot at people doing faaji on his street? Yet he wants to end SARS

Vixlot:
Don't add EndSars to criminality. Or EndSars connotes holding gun without license and threatening of Lagos Facebook Connect with gun.

Obviously you are a paid government agent, as evidenced by your fabricating a tall tale about musician Seun Kuti being in possession of a gun.

Do you have genuine pictures to prove your baseless accusation ? Photoshop forgeries obviously do not count as evidence in the real world.
