Tekno, Nigerian Afrobeats singer,
has reportedly been arrested for dancing with semi-nude girls in a transparent
van in Lagos traffic.
According to THISDAY, the gifted
singer was arrested on Tuesday and is presently at the state Criminal
Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Panti, Yaba, where he is
being questioned with respect to the incident.
Bala Elkana, the state police
spokesman, was quoted to have confirmed the singer’s arrest.
“The command has arrested Tekno
and the two girls for conveying half naked girls at the Lekki area of Lagos,”
he said.
“He is presently undergoing
questioning at the state Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department
(SCIID), Panti.”
A video of the incident had gone
viral on Saturday where the talented 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, did not go down well with some
persons and agencies in the state.
The Lagos State Signage and
Advertisement Agency (LASAA) had issued a statement describing the stunt as
“crass immorality”.
“Nobody can hide under the guise
of engaging in the outdoor advertising business to display obscenity that is
antithetical to our cherished cultural and moral values. 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,” LASAA wrote.
Following the outrage that met
the incident, the singer had taken to his Instagram page to tender an
unreserved apology to whoever that might have “felt offended by the scenery
they saw.”
