The Lagos State Police Command has arrested Nigerian popular musician, Ice Prince, for allegedly assaulting a police officer.

The singer was arrested in the early hours of Friday, according to the command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin.

He said the singer was stopped for driving without license plates but allegedly abducted the police officer in his car and assaulted the said officer.

“At 3am today, @Iceprincezamani was stopped for driving without license plates.

“He agreed to be taken to the station. He, thereafter, abducted the police officer in his car, assaulted him and threatened to throw him in the river.

He has been arrested and would be arraigned today,” Hundeyin wrote.

Ice Prince rose to fame after releasing “Oleku”, one of Nigeria’s most remixed songs of all time. He also won the 2009 Hennessy Artistry Club Tour.
