On 30 September 1979, one Fela Kuti and sixty of his supporters, including members of his family, took a symbolic coffin to Nigerian head of state General Obasanjo’s headquarters at Dodan Army Barracks. This was because Fela held General Obasanjo, due to step down as Nigerian president the next day, responsible for his mother’s death, who had died a year earlier. *************************************************************************** Sources: STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF AFROBEAT MUSIC OF FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI Albert Oikelome PhD.
