FLASH BACK NEWS: On September 4, 1984 Buhari's Govt Sentenced Fela Kuti to 10 Years in Prison

When General Muhammadu Buhari came to power, there was wide corruption in the Second Republic. A decree was passed that nobody take out or bring in foreign currency into the country. Offenders are liable
to 10years in Jail. This decree was to curb money laundering by politicians and corrupt businessmen.

Fela had performed abroad, he was paid in foreign currency in cash and had it on him on his return to Lagos. He was subsequently arrested for breaking the law and was prosecuted, found guilty and jailed. There was a plea by human right groups to Head of State Buhari to "pardon" Fela, he refused because he believe that the law be served to the letter.

Secondly, Fela bringing in cash means it contradicts the law/decree, however, the money is from hard work. Morally, he's justified! Legally, he is not.

Buhari had refused to grant pardon, because the law was broken. If he grants pardon, some section of politicians will accuse him of preferential treatment. He didn't because he believes in absolute discipline.
However, after 20 months, Fela was released from prison by General Ibrahim Babangida.

Goodluck Jonah lost the election because his campaign team are just potbellied idiots without initiatives.., if you've ever taken out time to listen to what FELA had to say about buhari you'll agree with me that no sane Nigerian would've voted APC not to mention voting buhari..., Goodluck made a big mistake by trying to ridicule buhari's old age forgetting we're all still Africans and in Africa we respect and Revere gray hairs.., whatever happened to that guy that sang BUHARI PULL OVER..., am quite sure he's probably on exile by now

I laff bcos he himsef knws dat apart frm his wives and childrn, no oda persn liks him, evn his party membaz dnt lik him, dey ar all faking to lik his govt.
