Yeni Kuti wants Trump to deport man who deserted Femi’s band in US

Retired dancer, Yeni Anikulapo-Kuti, has called on President Donald Trump to deport the bassist who allegedly absconded from her brother’s band in the United States of America.

Andrew Aghedo reportedly abandoned Femi Kuti’s Positive Force band 20 minutes before a performance in New York on Sunday.

The disappearance unsettled the band but the other members were eventually able to go ahead with the performance.

An obviously disappointed Yeni, who used to dance with the band, could not help but call out the alleged deserter on social media.

In a series of messages posted on Instagram, the 57-year-old known as YK Power called Aghedo a betrayer and said she hopes Trump deports him back to Nigeria.

The face of betrayal! Deserted Positve Force 20 mins before show in New York but he is not up to who can bring us down.

Meanwhile, the New York show went on without any visible glitches as guests were thrilled by Femi Kuti and the remaining members of the band.

The show, which was part of the One People, One World tour, was described as the biggest so far in the United States leg of the tour following similarly successful runs in Boston, New Jersey and Toronto.
