Afrobeat star, Seun Kuti has voluntarily surrendered to the Lagos State Police Command after he assaulted a policeman on the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos.

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba ordered the arrest of the musician and also directed that a probe be carried out to ascertain the facts of the case.
