His distinctness and dedication to duty were unrivaled at every assignment he covered, as he would always go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that no moment that needed to be captured escaped his lenses.

Kuti, who was born, in Abeokuta, Ogun State, would be buried, on Friday, in accordance with Islamic customs.
