The police command in Lagos announced his arrest on Friday morning.
According to the police spokesman in Lagos, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the 35-year-old rapper was arrested after he “abducted” and “assaulted” a police officer who stopped him for driving without a licence plate.
“At 3am today, @Iceprincezamani was stopped for driving without license plates. He agreed to be taken to the station,” Mr Hundeyin alleged in a tweet.
