On Twitter, Peter called the event “unfortunate,” adding that reports indicate Seun’s family was under danger, thus the altercation.
“When you understand what happens when a man is placed in a situation where he must protect his family from any form of danger, our emotions take over.”
“I request and beg the #NigerianPoliceForce to accept our heartfelt apologies for the unfortunate outburst and taint justice with mercy,” he tweeted.
SP Benjamin Hundeyin, a Police Public Relations Officer, warned the performer to do the same and face the consequences.
“Whenever you believe an unarmed lone police officer is putting your family in danger (God forbid), slap the officer.”
“Do it in Nigeria and the United States, where you travel frequently.” “I’m confident that eminent Nigerians will raise this argument in your defence,” Hundeyin responded.
