12 months in prison and 20 million fcfa fine for Dj Arafat

The bill is salty for DJ Afarat. The Ivorian star has just been sentenced to 12 months in prison by the Abidjan Plateau court. As if this sentence wasn't enough, Arafat will have to pay a sum of 20 million fcfa damages to the complaining party. An arrest warrant with immediate effect is issued against the singer who is currently outside Ivorian soil.

As a reminder, Dj Arafat had beaten the young Marc Naï who was then one of his proteges. The incident happened in front of the cameras. The young man had undergone a correction while lying on the ground. The Yoro had justified his action evoking that the young man had consumed drugs. After this incident, the singer refused to appear in court despite several reminders.

Herve Nai the father of Marc Naï said he was satisfied with the verdict before stating: "This will serve as a lesson for those who think they are above the law".
