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"
