Awaited DPP’s Advice: Considering the objections raised by the defense and the need to uphold previous court orders, Magistrate Olatunbosun ruled to await the legal advice from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) before proceeding with the case. This decision garnered applause from observers in the courtroom, although the court disapproved of such behavior.
It is alleged that Seun Kuti committed the offense on May 13 on the Third Mainland Bridge, where he reportedly drove recklessly, intentionally obstructed a police vehicle, and assaulted Inspector Mohammed Aminu, who was in uniform and on official duty. The court’s decision to dismiss the police application ensures that further legal advice will be sought before any potential trial takes place.
