Why Did Buhari Sentence Fela Kuti To 10 Years In Prison? by Acidosis(m): 6:20pm On Nov 10, 2014 |
"...He also moved to silence critics of his administration, passing decrees curbing press freedoms and allowing for opponents to be detained up to three months without formal charges. He also banned strikes and lockouts by workers and founded Nigeria's first secret police force, the National Security Organization. His government sentenced popular musician and political critic Fela Kuti to ten years in prison on charges that Amnesty International denounced as fabricated and politically motivated; Kuti was later pardoned and released by Buhari's successor." http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammadu_Buhari Can anyone get me valid answers pls? Mr. Seun, front page please... I need this info for an on-going research. Thank you my able mentor. 113 Likes 3 Shares |

When General Muhammadu Buhari came to power, there was wide corruption in the Second Republic. A decree was passed that nobody take out or bring in foreign currency into the country. Offenders are liable to 10years in Jail. This decree was to curb money laundering by politicians and corrupt businessmen. FELA KUTI Fela had performed abroad, he was paid in foreign currency in cash and had it on him on his return to Lagos. He was subsequently arrested for breaking the law and was prosecuted, found guilty and jailed. PLEA: There was a plea by human right groups to Head of State Buhari to "pardon" Fela, he refused because he believe that the law be served to the letter. THE OFFENSE, GMB AND FELA: First, there was an existing law/decree. Secondly, Fela bringing in cash means it contradicts the law/decree, however, the money is from hard work. Morally, he's justified! Legally, he is not. Buhari had refused to grant pardon, because the law was broken. If he grants pardon, some section of politicians will accuse him of preferential treatment. He didn't because he believes in absolute discipline. By law, he is justified. Morally, he is not, considering that it was Fela's sweat(my opinion). The law does not work with emotion unfortunately. MY OPINION: GMB should have pardoned Fela. The law should have made for exception. Buhari should have tampered justice with mercy 514 Likes 39 Shares |

Buhari was tyranny personified! An over ambitious soldier who who led fellow rascals to destroy destinies! Nigerians are hoodwinked that jailing people is the same as fighting corruption! Buhari shed innocent blood just for the fun of it! We must do what we have to do: Buhari must not smell that sit again! 212 Likes 16 Shares |

On-going research indeed. You're so jobless that you now research on Buhari and his arrest of Fela which happened decades ago. Why don't you channel your research on Boko Haram and suggest possible ways of ending the insurgency as a saTANist and tell us what JonaTAN has to offer in 2015. Yeye dey smell! 144 Likes 6 Shares |

barcanista: In conclusion to the bolded, General Mohamodu Buhari Rtd. is callous and wicked for sending Fela to TEN YEARS Imprisonment for bringing his hard-earn money into the country May the soul of Fela Anikulapo Kuti and the many innocent Nigerians killed unjustly in Nigeria continue to hunt their killers by Fire & by Force. 80 Likes 5 Shares |
