Congolese musician ,Koffi Olomide, 60, was arrested yesterday and deported after a video of him kicking one of his female dancers, shortly after landing in the country, went viral. He was deported to
Congo this morning.
Footage of the incident at Nairobi's international airport was posted online and sparked outrage on social media. Olomide however denied assaulting anyone but was arrested hours after arriving in Kenya for a concert. He was deported to the DRC capital, Kinshasa, with three of his dancers.
The video shown on Kenya's KTN News shows police intervening to stop the apparent attack on the woman, identified by Kenyan media as one of his dancers. A Kenyan minister, Youth and Gender Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki, said the singer should be deported and his visa permanently revoked.
"His conduct was an insult to Kenyans and our constitution," she said. "Violence against women and girls cannot be accepted in any shape, form or manner. It is a blatant violation of their human rights."
