Speaking with Punch correspondence during the weekend, Femi Falana noted that the singer would on Monday, 15th May turn himself in as there were reports earlier that the police couldn’t locate the singer at his home to effect his arrest.
Falana said:
“I am his lawyer and he has briefed me. He certainly has evidence. This is not the first time he is dealing with the police.”
“He is going to report himself to the police tomorrow morning. There is no problem at all.”
History has it that Falana represented Fela ‘Ababmi Eda’ during his agitation against the Nigerian government, which resulted in his own arrest in 1993.
