Augustine ‘Tekno’ Miles, Nigerian
entertainer, says he is sincerely sorry for publicly dancing “erotically” with
some strippers in a transparent van in Lagos traffic.
A video of the incident had gone
viral on Saturday where the Afrobeats singer was seen throwing foreign
currencies at the five oiled ladies in lingerie and smacking their butts as
they twerked around a pole.
The incident, which occurred on
Friday night around the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge, however, did not go down well
with some persons and agencies in the state.
Mobolaji Sanusi, managing
director of the Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASAA), in a
statement, described it as a “display of crass immorality”.
He also said that “the full
weight of the law, as enshrined in the Agency’s extant law, will be meted on
the company owning this erring outdoor mobile truck.”
But on Sunday, the singer took to
his Instagram page to tender an unreserved apology to whoever that might have
“felt offended by the scenery they saw.”
“Hi Everyone, please I will like
to clear the air about the situation of videos going round of girls in a truck
dancing around Lekki or Victoria Island,” he wrote.
“First of, there was no reason
for us to be dancing in a truck around Lekki. There was no music, no
ventilation in the truck. We were shooting a music video, and we had shortage
of vehicles to convey people to the next location, because some of the cars
broke down in between the shoot, which divided ourselves into various vehicles
because we had been shooting all day and having fun which we then moved to the
next location.
“However, this was about 12am at
mid-night already. This was no form of advert for a strip club or dancing naked
on the streets for any type of reason.
“In addition, we respect the
decency in Lagos and as much as are entertainers we are always mindful of what
we have and don’t jeopardise it. That’s why we enjoy shooting our videos in
Lagos. As we all know it’s a centre of excellence and also the centre of
entertainment.
