Afrobeat star Seun Kuti has been released from police custody after meeting his bail conditions. His lawyer Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN) confirmed he was released around 7.30 pm Tuesday.
According to him, the singer was released to his family after meeting his bail conditions. He is however due to return to court Wednesday for the continuation of his trial.
The singer had turned himself in on 15 May after the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, ordered his arrest after a video of the musician assaulting a police officer surfaced online. He regained freedom after one week in detention at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba area of Lagos.
Many human rights activists said he was subjected to inhumane and degrading treatment during detention.
