King Sunny Ade's ex-guitarist, Fatoke Abiodun, caught with cocaine

One of King Sunny Ade's ex-guitarist, 62 year old Fatoke Abiodun (pictured above with the drugs), was arrested on Tuesday January 1st 2013 with 1.575kg of cocaine, according to anti-drug agency, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.

Mr Fatoke was arrested on Tuesday while trying to board an Air France flight to Italy at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. The drug was discovered in the false bottom of his luggage during the screening of passengers to Italy. He is the first trafficker to be arrested in 2013.

Fatoke said he played for KSA for 30 years before he was unceremoniously retired in 2007 and with nothing to fall back on, and with four wives, and many children, the grandfather turned to drugs.  He said this trip was his first attempt. Drug trafficking should never be an option. Sad!

Why a 62 year old Nigerian would trafic drugs is still something dat baffles me......when are we going to be done with these things that bring a negative image to our country....Ping 277DDBCD to get ma latest collection of clothings and accessories @ affordable prices.

Falling back on drug trafficking is actually no excuse. It's just like ones wife involving in extra marital affairs to survive (worst still, claiming it's her 1st time when caught)
I wish him well though but what d heck is he doing wit three wives? That's like three woes of investment.

*Linda. Wasted talent. Don't know him but must have listed to/ loved his skills.
You know whats annoying? All Nigerians in the western world are suspects and treated as such. People, pls report anyone doing illegal things in Europe/ Canada/ US to authorities to save us all from embarrasment we face on a daily basis.

This is one of the problem we have in Nigeria, people having wives and children they cannot adequately provide for. It is hard enough to take care of one wife, not talking of four wives and many children. I can imagine malnourished children, without proper clothes, running all over the place.

Na you know o. A Yoruba man practices polygamy, but an igbo man engages in monogamy with countless concubines. Who is fooling who? Oshisko.

Don't most of you know that most musicians made it doing this. Did you expect them to make it by the money you spray them at parties. How do you expect them to maintain a high class lifestyle?

We be mumu for Naija ooo. When a king's aide was caught, they turned it into yam flour. Gbosa! Who say we no get juju or voodoo?

I'm surprised she didn't post the one about the igbo dude that was executed last week in malaysia, and another in some other asian countries. Shameless lot.

I propose that any well educated progressive in Nigeria today simply cannot be tribalistic...If you are tribalistic, your level of education,exposure and world is automaically called into question. I am currently working on backing this up with factual poll data.

Anonymous said...

F..k you hypocrites and tribalist, I blame linda for even giving you space to comment. Who cares where he is from? This is someone's father and grandfather. In a country where things work even if a 65year old loses everything he still has social security or something to fall back on. Nigeria is decaying and people are not even noticing. Again f..k u-Newyorker

4 wives! That is 3 wives too many. Being a Nigerian in Diaspora, I struggle to find pity for him because he is one of those who continue to help sustain the (bad)perception of Nigerians abroad.

I'm glad he was caught in his own country. He'll probably walk free in a matter of weeks anyway.

The problem with nigeria, a man will hv 3 wives 10kids, if you have 1 wife with 3kids and raise them right I garantee 1 of them will be doing well, even if he/she is not rich. They will be the 1 taken care of you. If u want other women hv a gf n move on when its getting too serious, its selfish for a man to marry more than 1 woman, cheat fine, but go back to your family at the end of the day

If any igbo person want to gave a intellectual challenge of this you give me a challenge and I will create a opportunity to have a serious but sensible argument with room for judgement (I'm also ready to give the person my pin no and phone no) . Without being biased or tribal hate, I urge the insecure igbos coming on lindaikeji blog to always have their fact right before typing a comment or simply comment without starting tribal issues.

Why dont i feel sad or sorry for this man? lemme guess: at 62 with 4 wives he should have children who are graduates and should be able to take care of him. 2. he played for sunny for 30years, what happened to the culture of saving for raining days? he thought he would play for sunny forever or was he hoping to be getting pension from sunny ade ni? 3. why 4 wives? apparently he had enough money to keep many wives while he was in active service and was prudent or wise with spending. 4. why drugs? @62: he could start a proper music school nd teach young people how to play the instrument, there are infact more than 50, 000 things he can do with his experience nd life ... then lastly: if u believe this is truely his 1st time then u can believe anything. #bye.
