Deliberate or not, Tekno has been piggybacking off the viral moment created two weeks ago, when he was found at the Lekki toll gate shooting a music video in a see-through van with semi-nude women. Swiftly, the display was condemned by the Lagos state government for ”indecent public exposure” for which Tekno apologised on his Instagram.

There were also reports that the star was arrested by the police. Now, a statement on Sunday by the Director General, National Council for Arts and Culture, a parastatal of the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, Segun Runsewe, said Tekno would be made a scapegoat “to teach others a serious lesson.”

According to him, the NCAC is committed to exposing proponents of such kind of offensive sights and videos in Nigeria, while security agencies will be briefed to place Tekno on their watch list, “because his conduct is a threat to national security.”

What this means is that the government would respond swiftly on things that threaten our ”moral fabric” than be proactive against homegrown terrorism, building collapse or a fire incident. Funnily enough, it’s the music industry where Tekno belongs to that has brought the most national recognition and success to our country – the world is now reckoning with Afrobeats, and back at home the government wants to make Tekno a scapegoat.
