The investigating police officer, Lekan Ogundare, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on May 13 on the Third Mainland Bridge.

He said the defendant drove dangerously on the bridge and deliberately blocked a moving police vehicle.

He alleged that the defendant grabbed Insp Mohammed Aminu, attached to the Police Training College, Ikeja, while on official movement and in police uniform.

Mr Ogundare said the defendant slapped Mr Aminu several times on his face.

A legal officer of the police, S. A. Adebeshin, applied to the court to give the police 21 days to conduct further investigation on the case.

A 12-paragraph affidavit supported his application.

Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN) and counsel to the defendant said he was unaware of the application for the defendant’s remand.

He requested time to respond to the application.

Reacting, M. A. Animashaun, a member of the police legal team, submitted that there should be temporary deprivation of liberty of the defendant for investigation purposes.

He said that Mr Kuti’s alleged victim had been on medical treatment.

However, Mr Olumide-Fusika said Mr Kuti handed himself over to the police and should not be remanded on such grounds.

He prayed the court grant Mr Kuti bail, promising the defendant would show up whenever needed.
