Kuti, who was in court on Wednesday — had been facing trial on assaulting a police officer, and had concerts scheduled in more than a dozen countries, his manager Ayo Moses told The Associated Press.

Kuti’s case was adjourned until a further hearing on July 3 after the presiding judge ruled that it was the public prosecutor – not the police – that had the power to prosecute the musician.
