Seun Kuti's eventful time in police custody.

Lawyers of Nigerian Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti have denied reports that he was crowned "General Overseer" by inmates in police custody, stating that his rank is "Senior Marshall". Kuti was seen slapping a police officer in a viral video and turned himself in to the police. He has been remanded in custody for assaulting a police officer and is being treated well. Some artists and activists have called for his release, while mixed reactions have followed the incident.
