The video, which went viral on social media on Wednesday, shows Buju being dragged by a bunch of policemen while sporting an angry expression.
In a now-deleted post, the singer tweeted; “Spat at a police officer’s face and it felt so good. I let you into my car and you dragged and tear my shirt and start slapping me? Nah everybody must stop.”
The root cause of the reported harassment including the location it happened hasn’t been known and neither the police nor the singer has released a statement in this regard.
Nevertheless, The Lagos police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, in a statement via his official Twitter handle, reacted to Buju’s statement about spitting on a police officer during the confrontation.
Hundeyin stressed that while the police officers involved would be sanctioned for their misbehaviour, he added that Buju, if guilty, will answer for assaulting an officer.
The police spokesman wrote: wrote: “@BNXN proudly tweeted that he ‘spat in [sic] a police officer’s face and it felt so good.’
“He has since deleted the tweet. The police officers will be sanctioned for their misbehaviour if established, while Buju ‘BNXN’ will surely answer for his assault on a police officer.”
Reacting to the video, a concerned Nigerian on Instagram with the handle @boots.and.more wrote: “Must they harass someone? Can’t they just do their job with vawulence? Nawa o everything just tire person who wants me to follow them to the Uk sha.”
