Mohammed Aminu, the police officer who was assaulted by Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, during a confrontation on third mainland bridge has been promoted by the Police Service Commission (PSC).
In a viral video, the singer pushed and even slapped the officer who didn’t retaliate, despite provocation from the entertainment star.
Kuti was later detained and arraigned for assault. He however pleaded not guilty and was released on bail.
In a statement released on Thursday, July 20, the PSC said the officer had been promoted to ASP. The PSC spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, who released the statement said Aminu, in spite of the assault, displayed a high level of professionalism.
“Inspector Mohammed Aminu, who trended on social media where he was seen being assaulted in uniform by one Seun Kuti, was also promoted to ASP I,” Ani said.
