Afrobeat King, Femi Kuti, has confirmed that a member of his band Andrew Aghedo, absconded in the United States, 20 minutes just before show time.

The bassist, could not be traced as Femi Kuti was about to thrill New Yorkers at Central Park, New York last Sunday before performing at the XPoNential Music Festival in New Jersey.

Femi, in a post on his twitter page, lamented that the disappearance of Aghedo could have ruined his show.

“My bassist, Aghedo Andrew nearly ruined my concert yesterday in New York @Summerstage. He disappeared 20 minutes before the show; I want to thank the rest of the band for standing strong and giving one of the best shows of the tour.”
