Afrobeat musician and protégée of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Dede Mabiaku has made a wild allegation on the back of the arrest and detention of Omoyele Sowore by the Department of State Services (DSS).

Dede said if care is not taken, Omoyele could be injected with poison and die slowly, just like it was done to legendary Nigerian musician Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

In a new interview, Dede said Fela himself told him and his son Seun Kuti that he had been injected while in NDLEA custody.

Afterwards, his health began to deteriorate until he died.

He said Sowore needs to be taken for urgent medicals after being held in DSS custody to avoid a repeat of what happened to Fela.

Dede also said he is speaking up now because no one wanted to reveal the truth about what really led to Fela’s death.

Watch him speak below:
