BNXN will surely answer for assaulting an officer – Police Spokesperson

The Lagos State police command has said it will prosecute singer, BNXN for assaulting a police officer in Ikeja area of the state.

The State PPRO, Ben Hundeyin, stated this on Wednesday following a viral video of the artiste engaging in a public brawl with officers.

CorrectNG reported earlier that BNXN, formerly known as Buju, said he spat on an officer who assaulted him by tearing his clothe and giving him slaps.

In reaction, Hundeyin said the erring police officers will be sanctioned for their unprofessional conduct.

He, however, said that the ‘Confident’ singer would face the consequences of assaulting an officer of the Nigeria Police Force.

The spokesman wrote; ‘‘@BNXN proudly tweeted that he ‘spat in [sic] a police officer’s face and it felt so good.’ He has since deleted the tweet.

The police officers will be sanctioned for their misbehavior if established, while @BNXN will surely answer for his assault on a police officer.”
