Some of Fela\u2019s wives would allege that they had been raped.<\/p>\n<p>Many would carry the scars of blows till their death. But in the most inhumane of their many competing actions, some of the soldiers climbed up to the second story room where Fela\u2019s mother, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, an Amazon if there ever was one, was living.<\/p>\n<p>No one knows what transpired but as Yeni Kuti would later tell, they were in shock when they saw the Lion of Lisabi thrown out of a second-story window.<\/p>\n<p>Members of Fela\u2019s entourage were detained in prison where, for some, the torture continued. Eventually, nearly everyone regained their freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Femi Kuti,\u00a0one of the sons of late legendary Afrobeat musician, Fela Anikulapo Kuti has gone down memory lane to recall the burning of Fela\u2019s house by soldiers in 1977.
