In a recent comment made by Olumide Adeyinka-Fusika (SAN), counsel for embattled afrobeat star, Seun Kuti, the lawyer has made it known that the Nigerian police have seized the musician gun license. This was made known when Olunide mentioned he is unaware of the recent development.
However, a source had already informed Punch about the seized gun licence.
The source said, “The officers that searched Seun Kuti’s home on Tuesday only found a gun licence, and they seized it. I can confirm that the command is currently working on revoking the licence.”
However, Olumide stated that there is no link between his client’s case of assaulting a policeman and a gun licence.
He said;
“Regrettably, I’m not aware of this. However, a licence is not a gun. A gun license is a mere piece of paper authorising the bearer or licence to own and have possession of a specified piece of arm (gun).
“Besides, what’s the connection between the allegation of slapping a policeman and police seizure of his gun licence?”
