Fela's Wife Arrested For Possession Of Marijuana

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has arrested one of late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti’s wives with substances suspected to be cannabis, the agency said in a statement today.
The suspect, Najite Anikulapo-Kuti, was arrested alongside a former dancer for the music legend and a man at her Ikeja residence.
A total of 340 grammes of dried weeds of cannabis were recovered from the suspects during search.Najite who hails from Delta State has a daughter for the late music legend, the agency said.
“This temptation should have been resisted by me,” she reportedly said.
Richards who used to be dancer with Fela said that she sells cannabis to sustain herself.
The single mother with a three-year old son was found in possession of 170 grammes of cannabis.
In her words, “it was the demand of my customers that pushed me into cannabis trade. Most of them prefer to smoke hemp when drinking beer”.


I guess Fela's habit rubbed off on her more than she realised....
