Seun Kuti named ‘General Overseer’ in prison

Published

Seun Kuti

Afrobeat singer and son of music legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Seun Kuti has been detained at the State Criminal Investigations and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Panti, Yaba, Lagos.

Remarkably, he has been dubbed the ‘General Overseer’ of his cell by fellow inmates, complete with a Bible as a symbol of his new role.

The coronation did not come without some initial resistance from the inmates.

Following his arrest on May 13 for allegedly slapping a police officer, a claim which resulted in a viral video and a warrant from Inspector-General of Police Alkali Baba, Kuti was placed into a cell after interrogation.

Initial reactions from the other inmates were hostile, demanding his removal from the cell.

Kuti, however, managed to negotiate peace by promising the inmates N25,000, which he arranged for his wife to deliver.

This act secured his acceptance within the cell and allowed him a place to sit.

According to Sources that spoke with Vanguard, reacting to the uncomfortable circumstances, Kuti refused to eat any food provided, including meals brought by his wife.

This hunger strike persisted for nearly a day and a half before he started eating.

In a surprising turn of events, the inmates then bestowed upon Kuti the title of ‘General Overseer’ of the cell, presenting him with a Bible.

The source revealed that Kuti currently leads the inmates in prayer sessions as needed.

Visitors to Kuti included his elder brother, Femi, other family members, friends, and his lawyers.

The police have denied allegations made by Kuti’s defence counsel that he was paraded publicly, insisting that only his photograph and fingerprints were taken as per the procedure.

They’ve asked the defense to avoid engaging in a “media trial” and allow the judicial process to proceed normally.

Meanwhile, the Chief Magistrate Court, Sabo, Yaba has granted a four-day extension of Kuti’s detention to allow for further investigation into his case.

PATERNITY SCANDAL: Who’s the real father of Ayomikun, daughter of gospel artist Tope Alabi? The big truth revealed

PATERNITY SCANDAL: Who’s the real father of Ayomikun, daughter of gospel artist Tope Alabi? The big truth revealed

The ongoing discussion regarding the paternity of Ayomikun, the daughter of renowned gospel artist Tope Alabi, has garnered significant attention on social media over the past several days.

Reports indicate that Ayomikun recently entered into matrimony with her partner, Oluwole, during a private ceremony.

The union reportedly took place on March 12, 2025, attended by a select group of close friends and family members. This development follows a claim made by an individual named Mayegun Olaoye, who asserted his paternity concerning Tope Alabi’s daughter. …Continue Reading.

In response to these claims, Ayomikun has publicly stated that Soji Alabi, her mother’s husband, is the only father she recognizes.

He began claiming the girl in 2018 on Instagram. He has shared multiple posts, claiming Ayomikun is his daughter and comparing her face to his to show the resemblance. He has also been tagging Tope Alabi to the posts.

Mayegun Olaoye also alleged that Tope Alabi had blocked every avenue for him to know his biological daughter in the past 22 years.

Reacting during an interview with Punch, Ayomikun stated that she was not surprised about the development as her mother had since informed her about the man who claimed to be her father.

Ayomikun, however, stressed that the only father that she has is Soji Alabi, who has been married to her mother for over two decades.

She said: “I will always know that my father is Soji Alabi. I do not know any other person and I have never met any other man. I cannot blatantly deny him because I have heard about him but I have never had anything to do with this man.”

She added: “My mother never blocked the avenues for us to see. My mother even tried for me to have a relationship with him. I remember when I was about 15 years old, she used to tell me about him but he never tried to reach out to me.

“I am very grateful to God for the kind of mother and father that I have. After God, my parents are next in my life,” Ayomikun said.

Ayomikun continued, “I cannot bear his surname. How can I bear the surname of someone that I have never met? There is no sense in that. I do not even know his surname. How can I bear the name of someone I have never met?

“God knows my real father and everyone knows who my real father is. I did not know this man when I was in crèche, daycare, primary, secondary or during my university days. I graduated and did not get a congratulatory message; absolutely nothing from him.

“So, there is no much story to tell. It is just a story about an irresponsible father and he is trying to cut every relationship he could ever build with his so-called daughter. I genuinely do not know why he is coming out after 22 years.”

Ayomikun stated that the only way she can grant Olaoye audience is if they meet in court and there is a judgment to that effect.

She said, “If the man wants to reach out to me to patch things up, it will be in court. I do not think that I want to patch things up with him but I know that I will definitely meet him in court if he ever wants to talk. It cannot be a civil matter because he did not make it a civil matter when he went to the social media to talk.”

Ayomikun says Olaoye’s public display has not affected her family in any way.

“I have spoken to my mother about it and we are all fine. It was not something that shocked us. He is not blackmailing the family but he is an example of a very terrible father,” Ayomikun said.

Benin City, Edo state - Reverend Leo Olu martins, a pastor and relationship expert, has listed seven reasons why the deputy majority leader of the Edo state house of assembly, Natasha Osawaru, "should not even consider" music star Innocent Idibia (2baba). 

Reverend Leo Olu Martins, a pastor and relationship expert, has listed seven reasons why Natasha Osawaru, the deputy majority leader of the Edo state house of assembly, “should not even consider” music star Innocent Idibia (2baba).

Obasa returns as Lagos Assembly Speaker, resumption date emerges

In a recent Facebook post, Olu martins said, among others, 2baba, also known as Tuface, “is a serial heartbreaker”.

“Seven reasons why Natasha should not even consider Tuface:…Continue Reading

1. Tuface is a serial heartbreaker who doesn’t understand the importance of commitment in emotional interaction and conjugal stability.

2. Tuface likes romantic flashy beginnings that put him in the spotlight as a lover boy but soon gets bored when all the honey in the moon has been licked.

3. Tuface can never give his all to Natasha seeing that he must give quite a bit of himself to his baby mamas and their children who are in constant demand for his resources, time and attention.

4. Benue men by culture don’t understand parking their vehicles in one garage. They naturally like multiple parking lots. They are like people who are O+ blood group – general donors.

5. Tuface is a spent emotional force ( although a good musician) with too much of excess baggage. Natasha is young fresh and vibrant. She shouldn’t allow Tuface to drag her down the dark aisle of instability that characterizes music icons like what Bobby Brown did to Whitney Houston.

6. Tuface likes flashy, independent strong women who have their own independence and once they give up that independence and fall for his emotional control, he moves to the next woman like a sportsman collecting laurels.

7. Finally Edo women are known to be home builders and not home breakers. Getting entangled with Tuface will throw her directly into the controversy of contributing to Tuface’s notorious home scenario with Annie which is currently in tatters. Trust me on this Natasha this journey isn’t worth it.

REVEALED: Other side of Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawaru that attracted 2Baba

Natasha Osawaru that attracted 2Baba

It is no longer news that popular Nigerian musician Innocent Idibia has openly declared Natasha Osawaru, an Edo State female politician, the new love of his life. This is a few weeks after he announced his separation from his wife, Actress Annie Macaulay-Idibia.

The trending romance only began when the singer unexpectedly visited the Edo State House of Assembly during a plenary session, which caused a stir at the complex and prompted reactions among fans about his relationship with the lawmaker.

Osawaru’s Dress to Kill could have been a style that attracted the multiple award-winning singer.
It can be recalled that in 2024, there was mild drama at a plenary session at the Edo State House of Assembly, when the Deputy Majority Leader of the House, Osawaru, was ordered to leave for improper dressing and wearing a dark shade.

The Speaker of the House, Blessing Agbebaku, ordered the lawmaker representing Egor Constituency to leave the session following a point of order raised by Nicholas Asonsere, representing Ikpoba Okha Constituency.

In his point of order, Asonsere said the Deputy Majority Leader’s mode of dressing was against the rules of the House.

“This hallowed chamber is a sacred home. We will not continue to accept or allow anybody to bring it to disrepute.

“We have tolerated enough of the attitude and behaviour of some honourable members so to speak, and if we did not correct this now, it would become a precedent for others to emulate, if not now, shortly.

“Please, Mr Speaker if I have the permission, I want to crave the indulgence to read some rules of the House sections and subsections.

“We have our own Bible which is often referred to as the Rules of the Edo State House of Assembly upon this we are being guided.

“Any member that violates or contravenes the rules is punishable by the law,” he said.

While ordering the Deputy Majority Leader to leave the chamber, the Speaker said the action was not his own making but in accordance with the House rules.

“Improper dressing and wearing of dark shade is not allowed in this House. It is not me who said it but the House rules. So, please, let us always comply with these our rules,” he added.

2Baba openly declared his love and affection for Osawaru in a video shared recently, while declaring that he planned on marrying her and that Annie had a perfect understanding of the whole situation.

“To Whom It May Concern. #I do yarn my truth. Feel free to continue alleging. We shall all be alright. Natasha is a young, brilliant, and amazing woman who has been unfairly labelled as a home breaker. Allegedly, I have been seeing so many things, so many people coming up with their false narratives and malicious nonsense after I posted that stuff that I posted.
