The impact of BABA OJONUGWA J.F.O’s latest single, “BANDITS” released in less than 24 hours is a testament to this enduring truth by FELA KUTI.

The song’s unflinching call to action has stirred the top brass of the Nigerian army into motion, prompting a strategic deployment to areas plagued by banditry with the Nigerian army chief relocating & moving to Benue state where the inspiration for the song came from after so many bandit attacks.

This powerful example underscores music’s capacity to inspire change and drive action echoing J.F.O’s legacy as a voice & propagator of the theory of music for communication & development.

Kudos to the eclectic Baba Ojonugwa J.F.O for the clear and unambiguous delivery in his latest song “BANDITS”
