sentenced to three years imprisonment at a Federal High Court in Lagos
for drug trafficking.
The 62 year old veteran guitarist was arrested on Tuesday January 1st
2013 with 1.575kg of cocaine while trying to board an Air France
flight to Italy at the

drug was discovered in the false bottom of his luggage during the
screening of passengers to Italy. Fakoke pled guilty to one count of
unlawful exportation of cocaine.
He played for King Sunny Ade for 30 years before he was unceremoniously
retired in 2007.
