Obasanjo was CIA stooge, Jimmy Carter’s boy – Seun Kuti speaks on the death of his grandmother, Fumilayo Ransome Kuti

Afrobeat Artist, Seun Kuti has claimed that during Olusegun Obasanjo’s military regime from 1975 to 1979, he was a puppet of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and a supporter of then-US President, Jimmy Carter.

He alleged that the US was involved in the invasion of his father, Fela’s Kalakuta residence on February 18, 1977, by Nigerian troops.

He stated this during a recent interview. According to him, his late grandmother, Mrs. Fumilayo Ransome Kuti was their primary target because of her socialist stance during the cold war.

Kuti said his grandmother was thrown out of the window during the invasion of Kalakuta by over 1000 soldiers.

He said, “I believe also like because 1977 this was in the height of the cold war. And she was Africa’s only surviving leading socialist at that time with any kind of real political power and clout. So, I think the attack was really 30 percent on Fela and 7p percent on her because [Olusegun] Obasanjo was really a CIA stooge. He was really a Jimmy Carter’s boy.

“I think that woman [Fumilayo Ransome Kuti] was really the target because why would you throw a seventeen-something-year-old woman? How could she be resisting that you need to throw a seventeen-something-year-old woman out of the window if you have not been told by some superiors that you have to do that?”.
