Seun Kuti, an Afrobeat musician, has reportedly left Nigeria for Switzerland for a summer European tour, immediately after being released from police custody.
Seun Kuti’s departure follows his recent detention by the Nigerian Police Force (NPF), which prevented him from performing at a concert in Spain.
He was arrested on charges of assaulting a policeman. Seun Kuti is scheduled to appear in court on July 3.
