Seun Kuti, the son of the legendary Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, posted a tale about his father on Instagram.
He said that MKO Abiola and his wife Simbiat allegedly attempted to bring Fela into severe trouble.
This occurred during Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure as Nigeria’s military commander. At the time, armed robbery was punishable by death.

Seun said, “Abiola and his wife, Simbiat, lied against Fela that he and his boys robbed her of her Ferrari at gunpoint under Idiagbon’s regime. This was Abiola and his wife’s plan to kill my dad because, under Idiagbon, armed robbery was punishable by death.”

However, Fela escaped prosecution since he was performing in Cameroon at the time Abiola and Simbiat claimed the crime took place.

Seun explained, “Abiola and Simbiat wrote a statement at a police station that they saw Fela and his gang rob her at gunpoint. This led to Fela’s arrest which is punishable by death, but luckily for Fela, he was performing in Cameroon the very day Simbiat was lying about the theft. Fela escaped the case because he can’t be in two places at the same time; its either he’s on a stage in Cameroon or robbing in Lagos.”
Seun further stated that after this, Fela and his older son Femi responded to Abiola in an unexpected manner. They plastered Abiola’s house at night with buckets of feces. When the police arrived the next day to investigate, Fela denied committing it but stated that he would if he could.
