The lawyer also disclosed that Seun will be at the magistrate’s court in Yaba on Wednesday for the proceedings which was adjourned today.

The purpose of that proceeding is to receive the director of public prosecution (DPP)’s advice.

Seun, the youngest son of Fela Kuti, the late Afrobeat legend, was apprehended on April 15 after he was filmed assaulting a police officer on the Third Mainland Bridge.

He was detained at the state criminal investigation Department (SCID) and arraigned before the magistrate’s court on April 16.

The police had sought to get an order to further keep him in custody for 21 days pending the conclusion of its investigation.

But the chief magistrate of the court directed the police to detain the musician for additional 48 hours and then release him on bail.

On Thursday, Olatubuson extended Seun’s remand for additional four days to enable the police to continue with its investigation.

She also ordered that Seun’s file be duplicated and sent to the director of public prosecution (DPP) and subsequently adjourned the trial till May 22.

The trial was thereafter shifted to Tuesday, May 23.
