Seun Kuti, the Grammy-nominated afro-beat artist, has spoken out for the first time since his release from police custody.
The musician, who was arrested by the police and detained at the State Criminal, Investigations and Intelligence Department, (SCIID), Yaba, Lagos on the orders of a Yaba Chief Magistrate Court for assaulting a police officer, was granted bail on Tuesday, according to metrowatchxtra.com.
Kuti thanked everyone who supported him during his struggle on his Instagram account shortly after his release.
He wrote, “I want to say a profound thanks to everyone who showed me all this love. All my friends that showed up! Thanks most especially to my beautiful wife @chefyeidekuti”.
