The Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, Ben Hundeyin, has reacted to popular singer, Buju BNXN’s statement that he spat on a police officer during a confrontation.
Recall that a video that made rounds on the afternoon of Wednesday the 17th of August captured a clearly agitated BNXN, parked down in an unidentified location in Lagos and flanked by gun-carrying policemen who were exchanging words with a civilian that seemed to be in the company of the artiste.
In now-deleted tweets, BNXN revealed that he had indeed been in the reported situation with the Nigerian police, adding that he spat on an officer for tearing his shirt and slapping him.
He wrote:
“Spat in a police officer’s face and it felt so good”.

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.”
