They put me in cold floor – Seun Kuti recounts prison experience

Grammy-nominated afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti has recounted his experience in police detention.

The singer was remanded at the State Criminal Investigations and Intelligence Department, SCIID, Panti, Yaba, Lagos on the orders of the Yaba Chief Magistrate Court for assaulting a police officer in a viral video.

Media Talk Africa reported that Kuti was finally granted bail on Tuesday after spending eight days in detention.

Taking to his Instastory on Friday, Kuti shared his harsh experience in jail.

He said he was made to lay down on a “hard cold floor, in the midst of prisoners.”

He, however, added that it was “still better than sitting in the devil’s house with politicians.”
