Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, has expressed gratitude to his family members, friends and legal advisers for their support towards his release from police custody.
Recall that the Afrobeat singer, was last night released on bail from Police custody, seven days after he reported himself at the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba, Lagos, over the assault allegation against him.
Before his release, last night, his lawyers, Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika, and Mr. Kunle Adegoke, had hinted that he would be released, yesterday (Tuesday), having met all the conditions for his bail.
However, after his freedom, Seun, via his official Instagram, thanked his family, lawyers and everyone, who showed him love and support during his moments in the police custody.
He stated, “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,” he added.
Some of Kuti’s friends and supporters were seen jubilating outside the Police station, immediately after he was released.
A viral video showed his supporters taking turns to embrace him when he stepped outside the police station.
