Azeez Fashola, a singer better known as Naira Marley, says
he and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) are friends.
The controversial musician has continued to make the
headlines on the groundswell of his incessant face-off with the police.
The ‘Soapy’ crooner was on Thursday convicted and fined
N200,000 by an Abuja mobile court for flouting COVID-19 guidelines.
This had come after the police earlier arraigned him before the Lagos state special offences court at Oshodi over the same incident where he was fine N100,000 after pleading guilty.
In April, the ‘Mafo’ singer was also arrested by the police
and arraigned alongside Funke Akindele, a Nollywood actress, after the latter
hosted a house party that the former attended, despite Lagos’ lockdown measures
at the time.
The charges against him would later be withdrawn after he
apologised to Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the state governor, and promised he would not
indulge in such going forward.
In what seemed to be a reflection on his experience with the
police and a thinly-veiled dig at the force, Marley said he and the security
agency are like two friends that cannot be separated.
“Police is my friend. Naira Marley & Police 5&6,” he
wrote on Twitter.
Police is my friend.

The singer’s knack for controversies has earned him
popularity in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
He had emerged Nigeria’s most-viewed artiste on YouTube,
American video-sharing platform, for the year 2019.
