In 1977, Fela and the Afrika '70 released the album
Zombie, a scathing attack on Nigerian soldiers using
the zombie metaphor to describe the methods of the
Nigerian military. The album was a smash hit and
infuriated the government, setting off a vicious attack
against the Kalakuta Republic, during which one
thousand soldiers attacked the commune. Fela was
severely beaten, and his elderly mother was thrown
from a window, causing fatal injuries. The Kalakuta
Republic was burned, and Fela's studio, instruments,
and master tapes were destroyed. Fela claimed that
he would have been killed had it not been for the
intervention of a commanding officer as he was
being beaten. Fela's response to the attack was to
deliver his mother's coffin to the Dodan Barracks in
Lagos, General Olusegun Obasanjo's residence, and
to write two songs, "Coffin for Head of State" and
"Unknown Soldier", referencing the official inquiry
that claimed the commune had been destroyed by an
unknown soldier.

In 1984, Muhammadu Buhari's government, of which
Kuti was a vocal opponent, jailed him on a charge of
currency smuggling which Amnesty International and
others denounced as politically motivated.[13]
Amnesty designated him a prisoner of conscience,
[14] and his case was also taken up by other human
rights groups. After 20 months, he was released from
prison by General Ibrahim Babangida.

Political lies.

1) Many Yoruba musicians sang in parable to reflect the political situations in Nigeria but he -fela- out of his insensible act sang to reflect directly on the situation.
2) A drug addict was released from prison by a drug baron.
