Soukous legend Koffi Olomide, 60, has been arrested in Kinshasa, the capital of Congo. Even though the reason of his arrest has not been revealed it is most likely associated with the viral footage of the legendary singer physically assaulting a woman in Kenya.
Koffi Olomide has been arrested and questioned on orders of the Attorney-General. “May the righteousness of man be just and fair” wrote the singer on his Facebook page.

Olomide’s performance which was scheduled during the 2016 90th Show at the Zambia’s Agricultural And Commercial Society, was cancelled following his incorrigible actions at the airport where he beat up the dancer.
The President of the management Committee, Ben Shoko, disclosed on Sunday, July 24, 2016 that the cancellation is a direct result of Olomide’s actions at the airport.

Olomide apologised for his behaviour in a post via his official Facebook page yesterday, asking for forgiveness, also apologising to the citizens of Congo who felt “dishonoured by this behaviour.”
He also apologized during his interview with Congolese national broadcaster RTNC.
