The trial of Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti has reportedly been adjourned to Wednesday, May 24, 2023, by Justice Adeola Olatubosun of the Chief Magistrates Court in Yaba, Lagos State.
The trial, which was scheduled to begin today, May 23, 2023, was alleged to have been postponed due to the judge’s absence from the court, according to a source who requested anonymity.
“The trial has been adjourned till tomorrow, May 24, 2023, because the judge is not around, the source said.
As of the time of this report, efforts to reach Seun Kuti’s manager proved abortive because his phone was switched off.
However, Seun’s elder sister, Yeni Kuti, who is currently out of the country, told PUNCH that, as of the time of this report, she had no knowledge of the adjournment.
“I have no knowledge of the adjournment, his wife has not reached out to me today; she has not sent me an SMS to that effect; none of them has sent me a text yet. But I will call the wife now, you can call me back in 10 minutes,” Yeni told our correspondent on a WhatsApp call.
