the problem with internet is that many of u put mouth into what u know nothing about because u have free internet access.

If u follow d story,u will know they weren't there to harm him but just party goers who parked in front of his house.
He admitted to pulling a gun so y defend him, even if d gun is licenced does that give him d chance to pull it at every slight provocation

I wasnt there, neither were you. Seun said he felt threatened and needed to protect himself and it's because of the video he made all these are happening.

Your trying to make points where there's none

lol, take a hike

PVision2020:
Being an #EndSars protester or promoter does not confer on you the right to commit crime and go scot free. Pulling a gun (with or without licence) on people because they park in front of your gate is a crime and Seun kuti must be made to face the law.

We are quick to crucify the police for their excesses but find every alibi to back our own madness.
Small doctor did the same thing few years ago and was let go and this same characters will be at the forefront clamouring for #Endsars

They wont like your comment,.
9ja problem plenty, masses own pass leaders, we just dont want to be lead

DonCortino:


he said yes there were shot because 'men' dey. he never said he shot any gun

yeah, they will want him to explain that man dey and those that did the shooting..
You know, the government has been on his tail since endsars, so they want to nail is ass for this..
He should have let it slide instead of doing hard guy on insta

they will ignore his actual crime and turn him to Mandela

Hmmmmm....


arresting a member of his family for yet-to-be-ascertained reasons.

SaharaReporters learnt that the policemen stormed the residence in a desperate attempt to pick up the musician, but they met his absence, as he was on a routine morning radio show.

. Like the way they asked Fulani herdsmen where they got their guns. Shior.

SadiqBabaSani:
What is this sef, d Police ought to av arrested him since na, why wud he admit to pullin Arms agaisnt Somone

and since it was a pistol it was an illegal arm he wielded.in Nigeria, one can only obtain hunting rifles or shut guns aka pump action.

Mad people everywhere!!! That's what they know to do best! Send them to sambisa, Zamfara, kastina. Now u'll see how they will be sheeding crocodile tears!! Ndị ara

Claudiusdeux:


Exactly, which is why it was strange Sahara reporters provided no context, other than to accuse the police of persecution.

You pull a gun on innocent people, what do you expect?

First, you assume those he pulled a gun on are innocent but not him? Secondly, there’s no context to when firearms can be used. but clearly when you feel threatened, then you clearly can. the matter in question is a civil case, upon that, he has a valid license. what the police should do is invite him for questioning being a public figure. Not the show of shame to go about arresting other people for someone’s else’s crime. If you do not know what rights you have. Wait until you are oppressed.

uptimum123:
Let them find him wherever he is...he needs to tell us where he got the gun in his possession.

But d police haven't found d bandits that kidnapped young school kids to ask them.y they kidnapped & had guns in their possession. Why d delay?

Jazzman01:


Here is a video of him that went viral some time last week. it was trending on twitter, Instagram etc, I wonder How you didn't see it.

watch the full video here, you can skip to slide 7 where he admitted there were gunshots

https://www.instagram.com/p/CIvf0cjrzwZSWS0bOEnnGAoPe9pErVuw3pxenI0/?igshid=5muu751ye628

I take back my words. Seun is setting himself up for arrest, by bragging about the use of a firearm to intimidate anyone, EVEN IF no shots were fired.

Seun, as a political activist, ought to be aware that the state will use ANY pretext to arrest him, therefore he should NOT give them such a pretext, by boasting about using a gun illegally, even if it is duly licensed and in his name. In his youtube video rant, Seun proudly smokes weed, while ranting about his support of violent confrontation. That alone, is a very, very bad idea, given the draconian weed prohibition statutes that are still on the books in Nigeria. Bad idea.

Nigerian firearm permits contain a clear specification that guns are ONLY for hunting, and not for self-defense or personal battles. It is only a matter of time, before Seun will trace his late father's footsteps, into detention. It is foolhardy to admit being unlawful, in any public forum.

Well, why didn't he call the police?(And please, I don't want to hear....The police won't come. That implies anyone can take the law into their hands)

Why did he pull a gun?

We all can cry 'Our rights' but were the people surrounding him armed? Because the only way he is justified pulling out his gun is if they were armed.

In the USA, your comment about using a gun for settling personal scores, or for self defense, would be valid in some states of the union, HOWEVER, in Nigeria, the laws governing the use of guns by licensed firearm permit holders, explicitly prohibit the use of guns in self defense, or during any form of conflict. Guns, in Nigeria, are limited to hunting applications, and that stipulation is printed on every firearm permit issued to civilians by the state.

I actually smh for some of you that post trash about "why will Seun pull a gun on someone else"
Or why will he, a voice in #endsars protest be doing just what he is fighting against or that Fela never pulled a gun on anyone.

All of you guys are surely sick.

Did you watch Seun talk about what happened?

Even a Landlord has no right to block or park in front of a gate of a house he has rented out. The President don't have a right to park on my gate and prevent me from living my house because he wants to party.

Someone can shoot and kill because that is trespassing on someone's property and you have endangered that person's life in case of life emergency.

We need to wake up in this country and stop all these bias views. Because someone feels he is rich does not give him right to oppress anyone at will. It is wrong and we must stand against such oppression

I did not mention personal scores settlement as a reason for the use of firearms. Even the IG made it clear to the police to make use of their weapon if they feel threatened. And you expect a civilian who’s asking for his premises to be evacuated by trespassing individuals who are claiming rights to your premises to not make use of his firearms? Do you know what business he has in there that is being obstructed? You are trespassing, blocking the entrance to a person’s home and they have every right to pull a weapon on you if you have been told to move without obligations.

Go and park in front of an ARMY generals house in Nigeria and tell him you have a right. Since y’all only respect people with power.

Call what Police? The same police that won’t go out to the Public to do actual police work? When have you called the Police in Nigeria and they actually came to you? Make una dey use una brain for this online wey we dey. No be say because na free space, you go just open your mouth begin yarn Dust. Use your Igtere Omoboy, make you no go chop free slap for public claiming right

So, Fulani herdsmen are justified to take the laws into their own hands because they feel threatened by farmers.

That's the logical end game of your assertion.

Good job.

Where did the Fulani's, herdsmen get their own guns from

The clown needs to be arrested. In his video he was bragging that if police comes, there would be a shootout.

As a duly licensed gun owner of one quarter century and counting under Nigerian law, I assure you sir, that even in the case of trespass, Nigerian law does NOT permit the confrontational use of a firearm by any civilian homeowner, regardless of whether or not that weapon happens to be licensed. The ONLY legitimate civilian use of a gun in Nigeria, is for hunting, and a statement to this effect is actually printed on every firearm permit issued by the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

That said, I have on occasion been obliged to administer warning shots in the dead of night, when the perimeter of my jungle hideout was breached by uninvited guests, but I would NEVER own up to having taken such corrective measures in any public platform where my identity is known. The law must be SEEN to be followed by all who cherish freedom and peace. Never brag about breaking the law, especially online.

olisaEze:
Arrest his arse jaré! His father was hounded & harassed by the government for speaking truth to power, and not because he threatened his fellow citizens with firearms for inconveniencing him.

But if una no meet am for house why una kon dey arrest family member? One would have thought that the #EndSARS protests for don give NPF small sense, if not una for know where and how to locate and arrest a suspect without using family members as bait. Colonial police force.

You are the only person that have made sense so far.

Some things never change! Didn't they invade his grandmums house in the 70s?

Army generals are of course permitted to carry and use arms, so I would have to be suicidal, to provoke a military man in any way. Thank you for the suggestion all the same.

Well,I don't know what is wrong in having fire arms in this country,so far it's for you protection in law abiding dealings.
On this issue I stand with Seun.If Meyatti Allah can carry gun in Broad day light,if Fulani can carry Sword ,Machette,and Knifes..why can't southern youth protect themselves..
I see area boys with guns during election..But I think the illegality of owning a gun is only for Southerners especially the Educated youth.Because they can't afford to make them have access to Gun and pursue freedom from Oppression.

Well Seun ,should be more patient dealing physically with people,The guy threatened him,he should have let it pass at that instant .or even get the guy arrested by the same police for Assault.

Not all fight worth it.
what he carry is much bigger,and the people against him are physically and spiritually powerfull.


Well I'm still waiting for 30 police to go after the arrest of Kankara boys Kidnapper.

It is not a crime to own guns as long as it is licensed.

Since you're advocating for injustice and inequality, every citizen should go about oppressing his/her neighbor with Guns and Cutlasses at the slightest provocation since we all want to be mad.
