I don’t support violence or abuse against the police in any form.”Narrating his clash with the police officers yesterday, Buju said he was in a life-threatening situation after some policemen assaulted him.“Yesterday I was in a life-threatening situation which caused me to lash out due to the physical assault on me by some policemen who have now been brought to book. However, I just want to focus on what’s important to me, my music. Thank you for all the love and concern.“I stood on my right as a responsible Nigerian, despite the violence against me and I don’t want my deleted tweet to be taken seriously.“I appreciate the swift intervention of some reputable police officers on this matter too. Love,” Buju wrote.</blockquote>
