Confirming that Seun Kuti was released on Tuesday night, the singer’s lawyer Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN) told journalists;

“Yes, Ṣeun Kuti was released minutes ago. His bail conditions had been perfected since last Thursday, but the police asked for an extension to remand him in their custody until today (Tuesday), to conclude investigation.”
