From wikipedia: "As popular as Fela's music had become in Nigeria and elsewhere, it was also very unpopular with the ruling government, and raids on the Kalakuta Republic were frequent. In 1974 the police arrived with a search warrant and a cannabis joint, which they had intended to plant on Fela. He became wise to this and swallowed the joint.

He then recounted this tale in his release Expensive Shit. " i have to give mr. phillip craig credit for hitting me with this knowledge, but its too too good. From wikipedia:
