Tekno risks 2 years imprisonment for publicly dancing with strippers
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 the semi-clad women, spraying them with money and spanking their buttocks. The act, according to a report by Punch, contravenes Section 136 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015. The section 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 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 Signage and Advertising Agency, LASSAA has suspended the licence 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 Officer, Mobolaji Sanusi, the agency said the suspension of the ad agency would subsist until the completion of the investigation. CTA: Do you think there should be any legal implication for such video shoot?
