Koffi
Olomide has been reportedly thrown out of Kenya after he was caught on
camera physically assaulting a woman at the Jomo Kenyatta International
Airport, Nairobi, Kenya.
The performer was seen kicking the woman identified only as Pamela, one of his dancers.
Koffi
who is also known as Mopao Mokonzi was scheduled to perform at the
Bomas Of Kenya Arena, Friday, 23rd, July, 2016 but was arrested by
Kenyan authorities after the attack.
The disagreement was said to
have ensued between Pamela and another female dancer claimed to be close
to Koffi with the rumba singer taking the latter’s side.
He was
picked up after an interview with Citizens TV as Police Inspector
General Joseph Boinnet gave the nod for his apprehension.
This
isn’t Koffi Olomide’s first brush with assault. In 2008, Koffi was
accused of being violent with a cameraman from DR Congo’s private RTGA
television station whom he kicked and broke his camera at a concert in
the capital, Kinshasa, following disagreement over recording rights.
In 2012, he also faced charges in DRC for assaulting his producer.
The Congolese Rumba star shared a video via his Facebook to explain his side of the story but his fans neither believed nor showed him support as one user Nancy wrote, “This
video to this even mares your case. Even if I’m not a psychologist, it
is clear that the woman here named Pamela at your side n is not
comfortable at all and is scared, her gesture on his face at the last
séconde speaks more than your beautiful words.
I
appreciate your music but mightily but with your conviction in France to
get molested and kidnapped your dancers and the video d today… I’m
really sorry and disappointed. You have no respect for the woman and
simply you have no respect for your next. Remember the good that the
evil always comes back to the one who the fact #shameonyou”.
The
hash tag #DeportKoffiOlomide has been started to throw him out of Kenya
and ban him from ever stepping foot into the country.
