The artiste, in the four-minute video, was seen throwing money perceived to be dollars at the nude women.
The government expressed disappointment that despite ongoing investigations into the anomaly, Tekno went ahead to release the offensive video.
A statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by the Director-General, National Council for Arts and Culture, Otunba Segun Runsewe, said Tekno would be used as a scapegoat “to teach others a serious lesson".
He said, “We commend the police for arresting Tekno for the shameful misconduct.
"The same person who was granted bail on health ground went ahead to release the controversial video.
"We are now warning him to desist from this shameful conduct which is not part of our culture.
“No single person is bigger than Nigeria; whether he likes it or not, we are going to use him as scapegoat to send a strong signal that this government does not tolerate nonsense and immorality."
Section 136 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015, states that any person, who commits any act of gross indecency with another person in public, commits an offence and is liable upon conviction to three years imprisonment.
The Lagos State Signage and Advertising Agency has since suspended the advertising agency whose display truck was used in shooting the video.

Nigeria is such a hard country, we need entertainment to losen up.
They want a scapegoat, how about the soldiers that shot 3 policemen?
Dis is how people use their hands to destroy themselves.

Confused Country
ReplyDeleteUseless set of stupid leaders with misplaced priorities policies, they sleep with anything fuckable, steal everything stealable yet they can't use themselves as scape goat, am sure if this one of their high class kids musicians that release these videos am sure they will turn deaf, blind & dumb, wicked double standards hypocrites
ReplyDeleteIf this government tries that we will mobilise and shut down this country. Yeye people, make them no make me release all their videos where them they party with under age girls wey dey strip for them oh. stupid government. is that our problem?
ReplyDeleteAnd the stupid ladies that were busy shaking bumbum will be used as what?
ReplyDeleteInfact the FG, Techno and the ladies, all their heads no correct.
Let them teach him a very good lesson. Why must yeyebrities keep looking to ram their rubbish down everybody's throat; and someone is here talking about hypocrites watching porn in private. I definitely don't support porn but at least they keep it private. What about those who don't even watch it at all? Or u think they don't exist? Don't they have a right to move about in peace? Every crap now answers 'art'. Why must all ur art focus on sex? Why can't ur art be edifying? Abeg, keep ur NONSENSE to urselves. I hope the government isn't blowing hot air this time.
ReplyDeleteTekno should be used as an example, he would NEVER try this in any country where it's illegal, so why should he do it here in Nigeria?
ReplyDeleteYes theyre other things for the government to do but they should sha do this one.
Leaders without morals + citizens (artistes) without morals = sick country. Worse than Sodom and Gomorrah.
ReplyDeleteTake a look at Nollywood. Just a few are decent.
Teckno and his shameless female escorts are worse than cows!
