Tekno Arrested For Half Naked Dancing

Nigerian musician Tekno has been arrested for breaching public decency laws after he was seen dancing with half-naked women on a truck in Lagos. 

Onlookers were stunned as they travelled through the city in a glass sided vehicle, allegedly dancing as they waited in traffic. Two women have also been arrested. 

Tekno, whose real name is Augustine Kelechi, recently made international headlines as he appears on Beyonce’s latest album.

He has denied the incident was a stunt to promote a strip club, claiming it was part of a music video shoot.

The musician has issued an apology via Instagram in which he states ,“We respect the decency in Lagos and as much as we are entertainers we are always mindful of what we have and don’t jeopardise it. That’s why we enjoy shooting our videos in Lagos. As we all know it’s a Centre of Excellence and also a Centre of Entertainment. 

We sincerely apologise if some people saw this or felt offended by the scenery they saw. It was never intent.”

The police confirmed Tekno’s questioning but stated that they did not detain him for health reasons and that the musician is instead expected to report to them when required as the investigation is ongoing.
