Congolese musician Koffi Olomide has been arrested for
assaulting his dancer at JKIA after Police Inspector General Joseph Boinnet
ordered airport police to take action. Olomide was arrested this night after a
live TV interview with one of the leading TV stations in the country, Standard
Media reports.
A footage went viral on social media showing how the
Congolese musician assaulted a woman at JKIA on arrival in the country. The
Congolese Rumba maestro Koffi Olomide landed in Nairobi 6am Friday morning for
his much-anticipated Bomas of Kenya concert.
Accompanied by a team of six, the celebrated star landed at
the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to a glamourous welcome by a group of
Kenyan fans who had gone to receive him. There was a little drama at the
airport as Le Grand Mopao, for that is how he is referred to as by many,
engaged in an altercation with one of his dancers. The dancer is said to have
reacted negatively to a request by Koffi's wife Cindy who is in his company.
Koffi, who was captured in camera telling the dancer off was
calmed by police officers at the airport before he was shown to his car that
immediately sped off.
