In a heated social media showdown, Nigerian musician Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr. P, and Lagos police spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, engaged in a fiery exchange regarding the recent assault case involving musician Seun Kuti and a police officer on the Third Mainland Bridge.
The controversy began when Peter Okoye appealed to the police to show mercy and temper justice in Seun Kuti’s case. However, SP Benjamin Hundeyin swiftly responded, directing Peter to address his appeal to the court, emphasizing that the police do not administer justice.
Unwilling to back down, Peter fired back, reminding Hundeyin of his alleged silence regarding threats against the Igbo community in Lagos during the elections. This accusation sparked a sharp response from Hundeyin, accusing Peter of shifting the argument and questioning whether he condones the assault on a police officer.
The Twitter exchange between Peter Okoye and SP Benjamin Hundeyin quickly caught the attention of social media users, intensifying the already heated debate surrounding Seun Kuti’s actions and the role of the police in delivering justice.
