18th February In Nigeria History: Destruction Of Kalakuta Republic By Army by JohnieWalker(m): 12:33pm On Feb 18, 2017 |
On February 18, 1977, exactly 40 years ago today, an Army battalion descended on Iconic Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s sprawling compound popularly regarded as Kalakuta Republic where the Afrobeat legend resided. By the time the Army was done with their ‘evil deeds’, the compound was a shadow of its self. They had set it on fire and arrested the Singer while they left his 78 year old mother of the legend, Olufunmilayo Ransome- Kuti who was also a formost women’s right activist critically wounded after being thrown out of a window in the upper floor as they carried out their destruction. The raid which took place in the early hours of 18th February came as a shock because it was overrun by over a thousand soldiers under the guise of arresting the Afrobeat legend for keeping under-aged girls in his residence. His mother who would later die from the injuries she sustained. RIP Fela Anikulapo Kuti Sleep on Mighty Warrior 58 Likes 12 Shares |
