According to the Afrobeats singer, his mother deliberately hid the illicit substance inside bread and used him as an unsuspecting delivery boy.
As a young boy, Seun Kuti said he was completely unaware of the contraband he was carrying. He recalled visiting the Panti police station, where his mother bought the bread and explicitly instructed him to hand it over directly to his father.
“We were going to visit my father at Panti, and my mum bought bread to give to him. She hid ‘Igbo’ inside the bread and asked me to hand it over when we got there.”
On the journey home, his older sister asked if he realised the delivered bread contained hidden drugs.
Their mother had intentionally kept the young boy in the dark because she fiercely worried he might accidentally expose the daring plot to police officers.
“My mum had told her, but didn’t tell me because she knew I might have said something to the police.”
Seun Kuti noted that he actively visited his father in multiple detention facilities during his childhood, naming Ikoyi Prison, Kirikiri Prison, Panti, and Alagbon.
