Source - In the West Fela Kuti, the creator of Afrobeat, is known by many as “the man who married 27 wives”. On 18 February 1978, he married the entire female entourage of his band in a ceremony conducted by a Yoruba priest. There are many sides to the group marriage, besides the sensational ones, but it would need an essay to explain them. The group marriage lasted until Fela’s release from prison in 1985. Stating that he no longer believed in marriage, he divorced the 12 wives that were still with him. Many, however, remained part of his entourage until his death.

But there was a change in atmosphere when it became clear that what had been a legalistic to-and-fro between the prosecutor and the judge, with Ibori’s defence rising only to say they “agreed the amendments”, meant the complete and immediate collapse of James Onafene Ibori.
