Talented and vibrant singer, Augustine Miles Kelechi popularly known as Tekno is in hot soup.
It would be recalled that the singer was seen parading some half-naked girls dancing in a transparent glass truck around the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge in Lagos in a bid to promote his new music video, titled; ‘Agege’, featuring Zlatan.
Be that as it may, the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) has vowed to sanction Tekno by using him as a scapegoat to teach others a lesson.
NCAC Director-General, Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, said; “No single person is bigger than Nigeria. We are going to use him as a scapegoat to send a strong signal that this government does not tolerate nonsense and immorality, but discipline, which is our moral principle.”
“NCAC is committed to exposing proponents of such kinds of offensive sights and videos in Nigeria. Security agencies will be directed to place Tekno on watch list. His conduct is a threat to national security.”
“Since the offensive Tekno scam video came to limelight, I have received hundreds of calls and SMS from Nigerians at home and abroad.”
“They are querying why such anomaly could be tolerated in Nigeria. Now that he has released the shameful video when investigation is still ongoing, we are going to inform security agencies to place him on their watch list.”
“Because his action is a threat to national security and bad influence on Nigerian youths. We warn that nudity is not part of our culture and should not be tolerated.”
“The Federal Government will henceforth fish out such clubs for nude dancers across the country for their promoters to face prosecution.”
“Section 134 (a) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State (2015) stipulates that an indecent act in a public place made parties engaging in the act liable to imprisonment for two years.”
