Afro beat singer Seun Kuti has been released on bail from police custody.
The musician who according to his lawyers fulfilled his bail conditions on Monday was released Tuesday and would attend court proceedings on Wednesday from his home in Ikeja.
Chief Magistrate Olatunbosun in a ruling, last Thursday had given the police additional four days to conclude all investigations on the afro beat singer following his trial over allegations of assault on a police officer before adjourning proceedings to Tuesday, 23rd may.
But the sitting was stalled on Tuesday following the absence of the Chief Magistrate Adeola Olatunbosun. The court adjourned to Wednesday May 24. Seun Kuti’s counsel, Olumide Fusika, confirmed that his client had been released and is now with his family. “Mr. Kuti has left Panti now for his house,” the lawyer said in a short message on Tuesday evening.
