There are indications that the
Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, had set a panel to
investigate the Omo Baba Olowo, OBO, crooner, following complaints
trailing his ‘Fans Mi’ video, featuring Meek Mill, an American rap
artist, where the singer displayed a substance suspected to be hard
drugs. It was learnt that Davido will soon be summoned to a meeting with the
anti-narcotics agency as regards his new video which will entail
questioning and afterwards suitable actions taken. The Director of
Public Affairs of the NDLEA, Mitchell Ofoyeju, who spoke on the matter, said, ‘the
video has no positive impact on the society, no ethical message either;
instead, it is evidently against what we contest. I have to this effect
set up a panel to checkmate him, his video, why he would go ahead with
such a video where he was seen exchanging a briefcase purportedly
containing sedatives for dollars, exhibiting affluence which is
questionable, probably based on drug trafficking or something I can’t
conclude on for now’. He went further to say that the panel will not only meet with Davido,
they will also look into why the video was let out to the market when
he believes there is a body that screens or edits videos or songs before
they are finally released. ‘All these put together will aid in investigating and verifying the necessary facts before we will give our take on the issue’, he stated.
