Congolese Singer Koffi Olomide has been jailed for a year for assaulting a female dancer in Kenya, reports indicate.
The Rhumba maestro was arrested on Tuesday at his home in Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
It was reported that he was taken to court shortly after and charged with the crime. He was found guilty and sentenced to a year in jail.

Olomide denied assaulting one of his dancers identified as Pamela. His lawyer George Wajackoyah also accused police of manhandling the musician.

The singer apologised in a Facebook post on Monday, terming the incident a "moment of madness".
He has faced widespread condemnation and outrage since the video of the incident at JKIA was shared on social media.
Kenyans on Twitter called for his immediate arrest and deportation after the assault.

Summary criminal trial procedure at its best...

Where was that mdomo baggy Kenyan lawyer when his client was being hauled to jail? The fellow should go there and argue his blah blah nonsense and get jailed.

This is the kind of justice all Kenyan are crying for.

The just that comes 100 years later is of no use

Justice is not one sided - it's 2 sided. That is what we miss. Was there an accuser? Was there a victim? did the victim testify? Did he take a plea? I have a feeling alikuwa anatafutwa that is why they had a kangaroo court to fry him. That is not swift justice - that is witchhunting/political. A crime needs an accuser.

Masukuma at it again. Posting for the sake of being contrarian and ending showing he is ill-informed.

You are completely wrong. Crime does not need an accuser. It just needs a witness or evidence. What if the accuser is incapacitated or too scared to press charges?

There are many cases where a person is charged even when the accuser refuses to testify or press charges. This is especially the case for domestic abuse.

Why would you need an accuser when the event was captured on video and happened in front of a dozen witnesses?
