<h3>Renowned Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, was released on Tuesday night, May 23, 2023, on bail from the custody of the State Criminal Investigation Department in Panti, Lagos.</h3>

<p>The news of his release was confirmed by his attorney, <strong>Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika</strong>, SAN, in a telephone interview with our correspondent.</p>

<p><em>"Yes, Seun Kuti was released minutes ago,</em>" Olumide-Fusika said.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/why-seun-kutis-release-has-been-delayed/eqwd26t">Pulse reports </a>that the release came after the expiration of the extension of his remand in police custody, as revealed by court documents obtained by newsmen.</p>

<p>Chief Magistrate <strong>Adeola Olatunbosun</strong> had extended Kuti's remand until Tuesday, May 23, to allow the police to conclude their investigation and seek advice from the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecution.</p>

<p>The police had informed the court that the initial two-day remand extension was insufficient for them to complete their investigation. Consequently, the magistrate granted the extension and adjourned the matter to May 23, 2023, for the advice of the Directorate of Public Prosecution.</p>
