Koffi Olomide reportedly gets 18-month jail term
For allegedly assaulting his dancer, legendary Congolese singer, Koffi Olomide is said to have been sentenced to an 18-month jail term by a Kinshasa court.
The jail term which came without an option of fine further confirms Congo’s new resolve to preserve the decency of the girl child.
Olomide had performed in Nairobi, Kenya, where the incident took place few days, and upon arrival in Congo, a congressman, Zakarie Bababaswe reportedly started a campaign against the singer, questioning why the singer was still walking scot-free despite evidence of assault.
