In another story, Seun Kuti opens up on how late MKO Abiola framed his dad Fela for robbery and wanted him killed.
He dropped a bombshell, accusing the late MKO Abiola and his wife, Simbiat, of orchestrating a nefarious plot to frame his father for armed robbery during the ruthless military regime of Muhammadu Buhari.

According to him, this accusation came at a time when Buhari’s Deputy Head of State, the hardline Tunde Idiagbon, was enforcing draconian laws that made armed robbery a capital offense, a death penalty.
However, Seun divulged that Fela narrowly escaped the sinister setup due to a stroke of luck.
The singer reteirated that while the Abiolas were fabricating their story and raising the armed robbery allegation at a police station, Fela was safely out of the country, performing in Cameroon.
