After being deported back to Congo from Kenya for alledgely kicking one of his dancers at an airport in Nairobi, Congolse musician Koffi Olomide has been taken into custody. Police officers arrived at the singer’s home early on Tuesday morning and took him into custody. He was handcuffed, put into a police car and then taken to a court
According to BBC, A judge is considering whether to charge the star over the incident, which was filmed and went viral. He will spend the night in detention and investigations will continue on Wednesday.
Although he had appologised to the dancer and his fans over the incident, calling it “a moment of madness”, this is not the first time he has acted voilently. The Congolese musician has been in similar trouble in the past:
- In 2012 he was convicted in DR Congo of assaulting his producer and received a three-month suspended prison sentence
- In 2008 he was accused of kicking a cameraman from DR Congo’s private RTGA television station and breaking his camera at a concert in Kinshasa but a reconciliation was later brokered
