Recall hat few days back, some nude girls were seen dancing in a transparent truck in Lagos at night, well the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) says it will sanction a Nigerian Musician, Augustine Kelechi, popularly known as “Tekno”, and use him as a scapegoat to teach others serious lesson.



Its Director-General, Mr Olusegun Runsewe, made this assertion while reacting to the controversial music video in which Techno paraded nude dancers.

“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,” Runsewe said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a four-minute video showing half-naked women dancing in a transparent outdoor display truck in Lagos has been causing an uproar on social media since Aug. 2.

The truck showed the women dancing on a stripper pole, wearing only brassiers and underpants.

It was seen around the Toll Gate Plaza on Lekki-Epe Expressway, Lagos.

Tekno, in the video was seen throwing money perceived to be dollars at the young nude women.

Runsewe, in a statement by his media aide, Mr Frank Meke, described the offensive video as disgusting with scenes of four nude women dancing in a moving van on Lekki-Epe Expressway.

The director-general expressed disappointment that in spite of the ongoing investigations into the anomalies, Tekno still went ahead to release the offensive video to the public.

“NCAC is committed to exposing proponents of such kinds of offensive sights and videos in Nigeria,” Runsewe said.

The director-general said that security agencies would be directed to place Tekno on watch list, adding, “his conduct is a threat to national security”.

Runsewe said: “Since the offensive Tekno scam video came to limelight, I have received hundreds of telephone calls and SMS from Nigerians at home and others in United Kingdom, U.S, Canada and other parts of the world.

“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.”

The NCAC chief, however, commended the police for arresting Tekno for the shameful misconduct, regretting that the same person, who was granted bail on health ground, had gone ahead to release the nude controversial video.

“We are now warning him to desist from this shameful conduct which is not part of our culture,” he said.

Runsewe said that 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.

“Section136, however, states that any person, who committed any act of gross indecency with another person in public, committed an offence and is liable upon conviction to three years imprisonment,” he said.

The official music video for his song, “Agege”, which was released on Thursday, showed Tekno in the moving van performing to the camera with the half-clad women dancing seductively.

The Lagos State Signage and Advertising Agency had since suspended the advertising agency, which owned the display truck used in shooting the video, until the completion of its investigations. (NAN)

Kai...don't be the neymar of the music industry in Nigeria. "Injury" can reduce the best player to nothing o. From voice box damage that led to ur being away for over 6 months to being used as a scapegoat by the FG.


Do u think being a scapegoat makes u the GOAT?

Untop tekno matter naim dem dey find scape goat they'll not use kidnappers and bandits and boko haram as scape goat

Village WiFi on Tekno.

How do they say it again? All bark and no bite.
If they take the case to court, tekno can win with the timestamps on the video recordings.
If they just fine him, he can take the case to court himself.
Las las, na money them want and if you ask me, Tekno is more important to the wellbeing and happiness of Nigerians than the so called FG who just keeps frustrating us.

Nigeria is a lawless society.

I can't remember the last time I watched a music channel because these guys just keep displaying women in skimpy dresses.

Nigeria has lost its sanity.

Prostitution is embellished RUNS and internet fraud is sweetened and called G

Deal with the fool already and stop making noise about it!

Set of mad people. Leave Tekno alone and face the problems Nigeria are facing

Bla bla bla. Another arrant noise maker. What happened to small doctor after he was caught with rifles? Dude went away and nobody bat an eyelid.

Also, isn't the EFCC pursuing it's case against Naira Marley? I mean that side of the story have gone stale and the guy is still making his usual noise, heck, the guy is even treading with his Soapy dance and song.

It is now apparent that if you have money and good connection in Nigeria, you can get away with almost anything.

please leave him alone oooooo

Techno you have my backing.

Easier said than done... We dey watch.

Are we no longer a secular state ?

What tekno have done wrong una go tell me. The ladies weren't even nude. They were on bikinis. Like say y'all don't go to beaches or hotel pools.

Secondly, he waited till midnight before he shot that video. You ought to be in your bed sleeping and what you were doing out that late at such ungodly hour no concern am at all.

Story for the gods

Chai, Tecno would finish his money on this case.
Na Abuja sorting be this.

I only hope they don't involve his brand sponsorships.

Eiya. Tekno don go price market wey him may not fit buy.

...and the FG don get scapegoat wey them go take shine.


But how does that action of his translate to a threat to National Security? Hope he won't be declared a terrorist

gragra. last last, nothing go happen. na bail go end d issue. where is naira Marley case now.

Morality my foot! Mumu! … but you can tolerate corruption in the country? Nonsense!
