Kunle’s arrest followed public outrage after disturbing footage surfaced online, showing him kicking the young boy. The video triggered swift action from law enforcement.
Confirming the development, the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, announced on Saturday via X (formerly Twitter) that Kunle is now in police custody and will be arraigned in court on Monday.
Meanwhile, authorities have taken Boluwatife and his mother to the police medical centre in Otta for necessary medical care and evaluation.
