    BNXN clarifies what he meant by “spitting on an officer.”

    Nigerian singer, BNXN formerly known as Buju has explained what he meant by spitting on an officer.

    Recall that Mp3bullet.ng reported that the “Kilometer” crooner was involved in an altercation with Police Officers yesterday.

    A video that circulated on Wednesday, August 17, showed a visibly irritated BNXN parked in an undisclosed place in Lagos, flanked by armed police officers who were arguing with a bystander who appeared to be in the artist’s company.

    In now-deleted tweets, BNXN revealed that he had indeed been in the reported situation with the Nigerian police, adding that he spat on an officer for tearing his shirt and slapping him.

    In response to BNXN’s tweet, The Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, Ben Hundeyin said that the singer would be prosecuted for assaulting a police officer and that any misbehaviour on the part of the officers would also result in punishment.

    However, BNXN has taken to Twitter to explain what he meant by his tweet about the incident. According to him, he used the term ‘spitting on an officer as an idiomatic expression.

    According to him, he was in a life-threatening incident which caused him to lash out at the physical assault inflicted on him by the Officers.

    He also stated that he stood on his right as a responsible Nigerian despite the violence meted on him and asked that his deleted tweet not be taken seriously.

    In his words;

    “My since deleted tweet stating that I spat in a police officers face was an idiomatic expression to say I disrespected a police officer to his face and not the literal way people may have taken it on social media. I do not support violence or abuse against the police in any form.

    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 my person and I do not want my deleted tweet to be taken seriously.

    I appreciate the swift intervention of some reputable police officers on this matter too. Love❤️”
