A source close to the singer confirmed his travel plans to Zurich, where fans eagerly anticipate his upcoming performance on Thursday.

This journey comes after Kuti’s unfortunate inability to perform at a concert in Majorca Island, Spain, due to his detention by the Nigeria Police Force.

Seun Kuti’s prison ordeal sheds light on the challenging conditions faced by individuals during their time in custody. While recounting his experience of being placed on a cold hard floor, Kuti’s perspective emphasizes the contrast between his incarceration and the corruption prevalent in political circles.
