Singer, Small Doctor, who was arrested and paraded for illegal possession of firearm has been released.
An Ebute Meta Magistrates’ Court released the popular singer early this evening.
The musician who many had thought was in a big mess having threatened a policeman on traffic duty was left off the hook with a stern warning not to be involved in any violent act for the next one year.
A police source who spoke on the issue said that the suspect had a license for the gun over which he was arrested and arraigned by the police.
“And since he did not commit any crime with it or kill anyone, what is the issue,” the source asked.
Small Doctor had been paraded at the Lagos police command headquarters at Ikeja after he was arrested around Oshodi on Monday, December 3.
He was alleged to have threatened to open fire on a police officer before he was caught.
The state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, said Small Doctor had in the past fired shots and injured four people.
He noted that the injured persons were admitted to a hospital had vowed that the artiste would be made to face the law.
