SV: {UAH} Koffi Olomide case: Kenya deports singer over airport 'kick

So he is kicking, heh!? The bore bored us stiff at Alvik. I was just beginning to learn to appreciaate that kind of music but, the bore shortcircuited it. He came on stage several hours too late!!!!! People here are not patient enough to adore African time. So many had left. People threw empty beer cans at them. The show was below standard
"WE FORM THE CULTURE THAT FORMS US"….noc'la gaumoy.

Folks.

Despite the Joy I derive from issuing RED CARDS, I never
ever lay my hands
on a woman. This Koffi deserved being deported from Kenya.

apparent fight at the airport

The Kenyan authorities have deported one of Africa's biggest
musicians,
Koffi Olomide, after he was filmed apparently kicking a
woman.

Footage of the incident at Nairobi's international airport
was posted
online and sparked outrage on social media.

Olomide, from Democratic Republic of Congo, denied
assaulting anyone but
was arrested hours after arriving in Kenya for a concert.

He was deported to the DRC capital, Kinshasa, with three of
his dancers.

Olomide, 60, was accused of kicking one of the women dancers
but, speaking
to the BBC, he denied kicking anyone and said he had tried
to "stop" a
"girl who wanted to fight the dancers I came with".

The video shown on Kenya's KTN News
<https://twitter.com/KTNNews/status/756498689150025728>shows
police
intervening to stop the apparent attack on the woman,
identified by Kenyan
media as one of his dancers.

A Kenyan minister, Youth and Gender Cabinet Secretary Sicily
Kariuki, said
the singer should be deported and his visa permanently
revoked.

"His conduct was an insult to Kenyans and our constitution,"
she said.
"Violence against women and girls cannot be accepted in any
shape, form or
manner. It is a blatant violation of their human rights."

The star has been in similar trouble in the past:

In 2012 he was convicted in DRC of assaulting his producer
and received a
three-month suspended prison sentenceIn 2008 he was accused
of kicking a
cameraman from DRC's private RTGA television station and
breaking his
camera at a concert in Kinshasa but a reconciliation was
later brokered
