Seun Kuti, the youngest son of Fela has also confirmed his father didn’t die of HIV/AIDS like it was made to believe. Dede Mabiaku had earlier in an interview said Fela was injected when he was locked up and the poison killed him slowly. He also said he wondered why Seun hasn’t revealed the truth, this whole time.

But reacting yesterday on his Facebook page, Seun said the timing wasn’t right yet.
He however wrote;
”Rage against oppression and imperialism!! My bro Dede Mabiaku is asking why I am not sharing the story Fela told me and my friends who were jailed with him by General Bamayi! Because the time isn’t right. Because it is information that should be released strategically not just because we want to! The Adage says ‘ until the hand of the child can grip the handle of a machete the child shouldn’t go around asking how his father died’ The Nigerian people haven’t gripped the cutlass yet and now that u have spilled the beans and they know we know be sure all evidence that hasn’t already been silenced will be silenced now!! Thanks but no thanks. #getthesax”
