The
daughter of legendary Afrobeat singer, Fela Anikalapo-Kuti, Yeni
Anikalapo has taken to social media to lament over an important family
photo that has been stolen.
According to Yeni,
the family photo was stolen by some unscrupulous people. She stated that
she sees her family photo on social media always but the one who stole
the photo has refused to return the photo to the rightful owners.
“It
saddens me that they now post them on social media without returning
them to the rightful owners. They are our memories that I would have
gladly shared or put in our museums but now denied that opportunity”.
