MKO Abiola Frames Fela Kuti For Robbery (full story).

Fela Kuti, Seun, who is one of the sons of Afro-beats legend, has disclosed how the late MKO Abiola and his wife, Simbiat, framed his father up for armed robbery during the military regime of Muhammadu Buhari.

Seun claimed that Abiola and his wife, Simbiat, accused Fela of stealing their Ferrari car at gunpoint.

During Buhari’s military era, Tunde Idiagbon, his Deputy Head of State, ensured that the enforcement of laws that made armed robbery punishable by death.

However, Seun said Fela escaped the setup because he had an performance in Cameroon while the Abiolas raised the allegation at a police station.

In a live Instagram post, Seun Kuti 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.

“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.

“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.”
