Tekno Risks Two Years Jail For Dancing With Strippers In Public …Apologises To Nigerians
Nigerian musician, Augustine Kelechi popularly known as Tekno and four others may be prosecuted and sentenced to two years imprisonment for shooting a music video publicly with strippers dancing seductively in a truck.
On Friday, August 2, 2019, Tekno was seen around the Lekki Ikoyi link bridge in Lagos, dancing with semi clad women, spraying them with money and spanking their buttocks in a truck. The act contravenes section 136 of the criminal law of Lagos State 2015.
The section provides that any person that 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 states that an indecent act in a public place makes both parties engaging in the act liable to imprisonment for two years.
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Signature and Advert Agency (LASSAA) has suspended license of Provision Media System Limited, the advertising agency whose display truck was used to shoot the video. In a statement signed by its Chief Executive Office Mobolaji Sanusi, the agency said the suspension of the advertising agency would subsist until the completion of the investigation.
LASSA further said after concluding its investigation in the matter, the full weight of the law as enshrined in the agency’s extant laws would be meted out to the company owning this erring outdoor mobile truck.
Meanwhile, Tekno has apologized to Nigerians over the controversial video in which he was seen with half clad strippers dancing seductively in a truck in the streets. He took to his intagram to tender an unreserved apology to everyone who felt offended by the video.
He said he loves to shoot his video in Lagos and he did not intend to offend anyone with the viral video of him and the strippers dancing in public.
