Nigerian singer Seun Kuti has revealed that he sent money to renovate his prison cell in Panti immediately after he was released in January 2023.
The outspoken musician in a recent Instagram live session, claimed that he renovated the cell, showers, and tiles after regaining his freedom. He added that rapper Naira Marley, who was recently remanded over the death of his former signee, Mohbad, will benefit from his charity while in detention.
“The day I got home from Panti cell, I sent money for the renovation of the cell, toilet, showers, and tiles,” Kuti said. “If you think I’m lying, go to Panti and verify. I renovated the cell I stayed in because I can go back there tomorrow. At least Naira Marley can enjoy my charity there.”
Quest Times recalls that Kuti who has made himself Naira Marley’s prison cell forerunner with the above claim, was detained in Panti after he was captured slapping a police officer in a viral video. He was released on bail after spending two days in custody.
The youngest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti in his outspoken nature, continues to lead his father’s Egypt 80 band while lending his voice to many issues bothering humanity in the country.
