Lekki Nude Dancers: We Will Make Tekno A Scapegoat - FG

The Federal Government has threatened to use Tecno as a scapegoat to send a strong message of intolerance to 'nonsense and immorality'.

Recall that Tekno suffered a backlash after being spotted in a viral video shared on social media dancing in a transparent moving van on Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge in Lagos, with four naked women.

Reacting to the release of the music video, Director General of the National Council for Arts and culture (NCAC) a pastoral of the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, Segun Runsewe said they were queried by Nigerians at home and in diaspora after a clip of the naked women went viral. He warned against shameful conducts which is not part of 'our' culture.

"We commend the police for arresting Tekno for the shameful misconduct. The same person who was granted bail on health grounds has gone ahead to release the controversial video. We are now  warning him to desist from this shameful conduct, which is not part of our culture.

"No single person is bigger than Nigeria; whether he likes it or not we are going to use him as a scapegoat to send strong signals that this government does not tolerate nonsense and immorality, but discipline, which is our moral principle.

"Since the offensive Tekno scam video came to limelight, I have received hundreds of telephone calls from Nigerians at home and others in the United States, Canada and other parts of the world querying where such anomalies would be tolerated in Nigeria.

"Now that he has released the shameful video when investigation is still going on, we are going to inform security agencies to place him in their watch list, because his action is a threat to National security and bad influence on Nigerian youths.

"We are committed to exposing proponents of this kind of offensive sights and videos. We warn that nudity is not part of our culture and should not be tolerated. The Federal Government will henceforth fish out clubs for nude dancers across the country for their promoters to face prosecution"
