Musician, Tekno has gone ahead to release the controversial music video shot in a moving van with half-dressed women.
Tekno
Nigerian musician, Augustine Kelechi, aka Tekno has released the
video with scenes of four strippers pole-dancing in a moving van on
Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge, Lagos, while the artiste threw money at the
semi-nude girls.
The viral video of Tekno and the video vixens was met with
criticism from the Federal Government, the Lagos State Government and
members of the public.
The Lagos State Police Command had invited Tekno and his manager, Sydorff, for questioning over the music video.
Sydorff had told The PUNCH, “They told us to please come and
clear the air about the whole issue. They told us that they felt we were
doing advertisement for the music video but we told them that it was
just a music video.”
Tekno had, in a statement on his official Instagram account,
claimed that the viral video was as a result of logistical issues
experienced during the shoot.
He had said, “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 a shortage of
vehicles to convey people to the next location because some of the cars
broke down in between the shoot. We divided ourselves into various
vehicles because we had been shooting all day and having fun which we
then moved to the next location.
“We sincerely apologise if some people saw this and felt offended by the scenery they saw. It was never (my) intent.”
However, the official music video for his song, ‘Agege,’ which was
released on Thursday, shows Tekno in the moving van, performing to the
camera, which apparently is riding alongside the van as the half-clad
strippers danced.
Section 136 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015, however,
provides that any person who commits any act of gross indecency with
another person in public commits an offence and liable to a conviction
to three years imprisonment.
Section 134(a) further stipulates that an indecent act in a public
place makes both parties engaging in the act liable to imprisonment for
two years.
The Lagos State Signage and Advertising Agency has since suspended
the advertising agency whose display truck was allegedly used in
shooting the video until the completion of its investigation.
The Director General, National Council for Arts and Culture, a
parastatal of the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, Segun
Runsewe, had also criticised the video, describing it as unacceptable
and ‘Jezebelistic’.
