The afrobeat musician had been captured in a viral video, allegedly assaulting a police operative on duty.
Reacting via his Instastory on Saturday, Kuti said the officer attempted to kill him and his family members.
He said the policeman had apologised and he had forgiven him.
He warned those saying he was chasing clout to mind their business and not let the police officer lose his job.
