The afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti has expressed appreciation to all those who cared for him while he was in custody.
Kuti was accused of assaulting a police officer in a widely circulated video.
He was held at the State Criminal, Investigations and Intelligence Department, SCIID, Panti, Yaba, Lagos, following a court order from a Yaba Chief Magistrate Court.
Moreover, Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika, Kuti’s counsel, on Tuesday, explained that it was rather administrative procedures that truncated his immediate release via bail.
Kuti, however, was released on Tuesday night.
The singer, on Instagram, expressed gratitude to many including his legal counsel and wife.
In a mixture of Nigerian pidgin and English, the singer claimed that he is an orphan.
His post reads, “I be orphan o but family deeeey. 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.
“Last but not least. The legal team. Uncle Femi Falana (SAN) Uncle Olumide Fisika (SAN) Uncle Kayode Adegoke (SAN) Barrister Ogunlana. Ade Ademiluyi. And everyone on the team. I owe you my freedom and my sanity. Let’s go.”
