Fela’s daughter, Yeni cries out over stolen family photo

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.
