Speaking on a TVC programme, Your Views, on Wednesday, the woman said Fela got married to his much talked about 27 wives in order to compensate the earlier married wives of his who were brutalised by the government of then Military ruler, Olusegun Obasanjo.

Laide, who was a DJ in 1974, stated that they were severely dealt with by the military government and disclosed that she would not accept any form of apology except monetary.
She said Fela household lost several properties in the attack. According to her, as far as the Fela’s legacy lives on, the family remains united.
