Seun Kuti, son of Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has appreciated those who stood by him while in detention.
In a social media post hours after he was granted bail in his ongoing assault trial, the musician said though he is an orphan, his family members, friends and legal team did not leave him alone.
The musician had reported to the Lagos Police Command headquarters after the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) ordered his arrest for assaulting a policeman in Lagos.
