MKO Abiola Framed My Dad (Fela) Of Armed Robbery – Seun Kuti

Seun Kuti, the son of famed artist Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has levelled allegations against late politician MKO Abiola and his wife, Simbiat.

Seun claimed in an Instagram live video that MKO Abiola and his wife set up his late father for armed robbery during Muhammadu Buhari’s military administration, accusing Fela of stealing their Ferrari at gunpoint.

According to Seun, during Buhari’s military rule, his Deputy Head of State, Tunde Idiagbon, declared armed robbery punishable by death.

He revealed that Fela escaped the case because he was performing in Cameroon when the Abiolas filed the complaint at a police station.

In Seun’s words; “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.

“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; it’s either he’s on a stage in Cameroon or robbing in Lagos.

“Responding, Fela and my elder brother, Femi, took 12 buckets of faeces. Go and listen to his song – give me shit, I give you shit – then you will have a better understanding. They took it to Abiola’s house in the middle of the night and smeared his compound.

“The next day, the police visited my father’s house saying they came to investigate the shit-show in Abiola’s house the previous day. But Fela denied the act saying if given the opportunity, he would smear Abiola’s house with faeces.”

A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
