Femi mentioned this while addressing his fans at a concert in France, but declined to comment further on the case.
Femi Kuti, Nigerian musician and son of the late afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has said the whole Kuti family are behind his brother, Seun Kuti on his lingering case with the Nigeria Police Force.
Femi mentioned this while addressing his fans at a concert in France, but declined to comment further on the case.
He said, “So before we embarked on this tour, my brother, Seun got arrested.
"Unfortunately, I can’t talk about it because it is in court. And it will be very wrong for me to say things that might jeopardise the case or whatever; but I want us to know we have the best lawyers. The family is solemnly behind him. And we do hope for a very positive result at the end of the day.”
SaharaReporters earlier reported that the musician kept his word that he would cooperate with the police by turning himself in last Monday to cooperate with the investigation into the allegation that he assaulted a policeman as captured in a viral video.
SaharaReporters earlier on Tuesday reported that the police stormed the residence of Seun Kuti and ransacked it in search of evidence to nail the Afrobeat singer.
SaharaReporters had learnt that the operatives thoroughly combed it as they fished for evidence to charge him with a separate crime.
It was learnt that the officers took the musician along when they went to his house and seized his wife’s mobile phone.
On Thursday, it was also reported that the police tried to search Seun’s Mercedes Benz car which was parked at his friend’s house.
However, it was learnt that they could not enter the car.
Seun Kuti, son of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti was on Monday arrested and handcuffed following his visit to the state police command.
Meanwhile, human rights activist and former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in the 2023 election, Omoyele Sowore last Friday accused the police of seeking revenge and not justice.
“@PoliceNG asks Chief Magistrate in Lagos to allow them forcefully draw @RealSeunKuti’s blood for testing after they didn’t find anything in his house and car during search. This is about revenge not justice! #Revolutionnow,” he had tweeted.
