WorldMusicNews Singer,Koffi Olomide faces jail term


Koffi Olomide, one of Africa’s most
popular singers, has been given a three-
month suspended prison sentence for
assaulting his producer.The 56 year old
Congolese singer, was arrested after on
Wednesday at a hotel in Kinshasa, the
capital of the Democratic Republic of
Congo. Olomide earlier this year, denied
charges of raping three of his dancers in
France.
“He wanted to withdraw charges in
favour of social peace and peace
between him and the one he calls his
‘big brother’,” one of his lawyers said.
The court convicted Olomide of assault
and battery but acquitted him of
malicious destruction to property, after
the hotel room door was damaged in
the fight.
