Seun Oluyole, better known with his stage name, Sean Dampte has recalled how he and four other artistes were rough handled by police officers along Oniru, Lagos on their way to shoot content.
According to the UK-based musician, they were all in a convoy of three cars and headed to Landmark beach at Oniru when they were stopped by police officers.
“Rather than ask for the identities of the occupants of the cars, we were rough handled searched. With nothing found on us, the vehicle was also searched, ending with the discovery of an art knife that I had bought in Kenya during my Africa Tour ’23, in preparatory to my London concert scheduled for September this year,” he told Saturday Sun.
The “I Dey Consider” crooner further narrated how he almost landed in jail for what he knows nothing about.
“I asked the officer to tell me why they stopped us, he became livid and threatened to put us all in jail. Then, one of my team members attempted to make a call, the angry officer went political, accusing Nigerian youths for complicity in the acclaimed unfair election that recently held in Lagos especially, and Nigeria in general. ‘I go change am for you now now,’ he said, while a calmer officer appealed to us to relax and be calm. The other officer continued to shout and warned that more powerful Nigerians than myself have been put in jail and nothing would stop him from sending me to jail, and that no amount of begging, while inside the four walls, would make him set me free. Eventually we were allowed to go our way, while the knife, even when receipt for it was shown to the officer, was seized,” he asserted.
