Nigerian singer Buju BNXN ‘to answer’ for alleged spitting on police
A spokesman of Lagos state police said the star "will surely answer for his assault on a police officer"
Nigerian musician Buju BNXN will have questions to answer after boasting on Twitter of how he spat on a police officer’s face, police have said.
The musician, whose real name is Daniel Benson, has since deleted the tweet.
A spokesman of Lagos state police said the star “will surely answer for his assault on a police officer”.
“The police officers will be sanctioned for their misbehaviour if established,” Benjamin Hundeyin said in a tweet.
Local media outlets report that the musician was involved in an altercation with police officers on Wednesday afternoon – which may have led to the tweet.
A video of the confrontation has been circulating on social media.
