The Lagos State Police Command on Friday arraigned music artiste, Panshak Zamani, popularly called Ice Prince, for assaulting and abducting a policeman in the Lekki area of the state.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, in a tweet, said the music artiste was driving to a destination in the state when the police patrol team in the area stopped him around 3am for driving without license plates.
