Seun Kuti, son of legendary Afrobeat artist Fela Kuti, has made a stunning revelation that MKO Abiola and his wife Simbiat conspired to falsely accuse Fela of armed robbery during Muhammadu Buhari's military regime.

According to Seun, the Abiolas fabricated a story about Fela stealing their Ferrari at gunpoint, a crime punishable by death under Tunde Idiagbon's draconian laws. Seun alleges that MKO Abiola's motive was to frame his father and mark him for execution, revealing a shocking tale of betrayal and deceit.

Seun Kuti’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; its 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.”
