In the video making the rounds on the internet, Seun Kuti could be seen lambasting the policeman after slapping him.

The police operative did not retaliate in the video.

Apparently, Kuti’s car was stopped by the police officer on an expressway in Lagos, which seemed not to sit well with the singer.
