“How can you be Obidient in this chaos? I am not Obidient. Tell me, at 60, why am I Obidient? You said I should be Obidient, sit down, be peaceful,” he said. “Are you all okay in this country?”, Mr Kuti was accused of saying during a performance at the Shrine Thursday night.

But reacting in a series of Tweets on Friday, Kuti noted that he was misquoted, adding that he never called the youths zombies.

His words: “You are such liars. Of what benefit is it to the people when you take my words out of context like this?
