Well the background for why he did that is pretty brutal. The Nigerian government went into his house/nation/home and shot up the place, as well as threw his mother from a second balcony window. It's all well documented in Music is the Weapon, which is a fantastic watch if you're ever looking to learn more about Fela Kuti or see what 70's/80's Lagos/Nigeria is like.

Then again, if you declare yourself a sovereign nation and don't pay taxes to the nation surrounding you, I'm not surprised the military is sent in.

I didn’t know he had a son who had a band. thanks. While reading your comment, i was reminded of Fela Kuti's son Femi, who i saw at the Trocadero in philly years ago. Late 90’s. It was one of the best concerts i have ever been to. fucking absolutely amazing. If you ever get a chance to see Femi Kuti, it’s a must must man, i tell you.
Dis album is amazing man.

I think it is preaching to the choir here, but this documentary ( made by white people, go figure ) is essential viewing....
