Given the likelihood that figures such as Bob Marley, and even Jimi Hendrix
for that matter, were the victims of political hits (cf Alex Constantine's
_The Covert War Against Rock_), it would be almost unimaginable that the
powers-that-be wouldn't be gunning after Fela. They killed his mom
outright, after all. Still, I got no facts to back me up & know nothing
about the specifics of Fela's demise; just a strong suspicion that such an
scenario is indeed very likely.
Would love to learn more on this topic if anyone has details--
