Remarkably, he has been dubbed the ‘General Overseer’ of his cell by fellow inmates, complete with a Bible as a symbol of his new role.

The coronation did not come without some initial resistance from the inmates.

Initial reactions from the other inmates were hostile, demanding his removal from the cell.

Kuti, however, managed to negotiate peace by promising the inmates N25,000, which he arranged for his wife to deliver.

This act secured his acceptance within the cell and allowed him a place to sit.

Reacting to the uncomfortable circumstances, Kuti refused to eat any food provided, including meals brought by his wife.

This hunger strike persisted for nearly a day and a half before he started eating.

In a surprising turn of events, the inmates then bestowed upon Kuti the title of ‘General Overseer’ of the cell, presenting him with a Bible.

The source revealed that Kuti currently leads the inmates in prayer sessions as needed.

Visitors to Kuti included his elder brother, Femi, other family members, friends, and his lawyers.
