Legendary Afro beat singer, Late Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s son, Seun Kuti has been warned by the Nigerian police to suspend his plan meeting on #EndSARS which will hold on Tuesday, November 17th, 2020 at the Afrika Shrine, Ikeja, Lagos.
Seun Kuti who dared to go ahead with the meeting took to his Instagram page on Monday, November 16th, 2020 to reveal that the police has threatened to shutdown the Afrika Shrine if he goes ahead with the plan.
He wrote; “So yesterday the government called my eldest sister @yeniakuti and threatened to close the shrine if I hold my event there tomorrow and also sent a letter to back it up.”
“I respect my families decision not to hold the event as it is but I will still go ahead with all the other organizations to launch THE MOVEMENT OF THE PEOPLE tomorrow and start our political resistance to the tyranny of this oppressive regime.”
“Slide left and you will see the flier. This is a meeting, just a meeting of organizations and they are basically banning the right of association. Why are they afraid of the people organising?”
“What is democratic about this act? The last time we tried to launch the government quickly called curfew and this time they have used threat but you can’t stop the will of the people.”
