War of words between Nigerian singer Paul Okoye and Police spokesman

Nigerian singer Paul Okoye of the PSquare duo has responded to the Delta State police spokesman, Bright Edafe, who insulted him on social media.

The drama began when the singer, in a post via his Instagram story on Sunday, September 4, 2022, cried foul over the arrest of his colleague, Ice Prince.

The singer said if a police officer enters his car and tells him to drive off, he will assume that the officer is a criminal or kidnapper.

Edafe fired back at the singer, fondly known as Rudeboy, on his Twitter account, calling the singer a “Celebrity with no sense”.

Paul, who had read the police officer’s tweet, swiftly replied. In his reply, the singer mocked the Nigeria Police Force over their lack of hygiene and unethical methods.

He wrote, “Lol DSP… I blame us for fighting for a better life for you people. #EndSars. If to say una join us protest, una for make extra money, well paid, buy better soap and body spray so that when una enter cars e nor go get counter smells.

“Una mate dey use cars with AC and computer to get information, una do stand under sun abi suffer nor dey tire una? Pray for a good and new government to come and deliver you, people. Una own don too much.” (sic)

Okoye’s earlier post was about Rapper Ice prince, who was accused of allegedly abducting a police officer.

In a post made by the Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, on Friday, September 5, the Ice Prince was accused of abduction and threatening to throw an officer into the river after he was stopped for driving without number plates.

The music star was later prosecuted on the same day and remanded at the Ikoyi Prison till his bail requirements are met.
