Self-acclaimed Omo Baba Olowo, David Adeleke,
otherwise known as Davido, may be sentenced to prison for promoting drug
trafficking in one of his latest videos, Fams Mi.
This is just as the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has concluded plans to summon the Dami Duro crooner
to explain the story behind the video.
In the controversial video, Davido, an MTN
ambassador tries to seal a deal with a drug dealer to supply cocaine while the
dealer hands him cases of dollars for the transaction. Davido then goes back to
his mansion where he can be seen aided by the brassieres-and-panties flaunting
ladies preparing the ‘cocaine’.
However, the ‘cocaine’ Davido delivered to
the drug dealer was only semovita (a local Nigerian food).
Mitchell Ofoyeju, Director of Public Affairs
of the NDLEA, while reacting to the development, said he had watched the video
and noticed it was not okay for public viewing.
He said, “The video has no positive impact on
the society, no ethical message either; instead, it is evidently against what
we confess. I have to this effect set up a panel to check mate him, his video,
why he would go ahead with such a video where he was seen exchanging a brief
case 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, but will also look into why the video was let out to
the market when he believes there is meant to be 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 added.
Findings by this reporter shows that if the
singer is eventually roped, he may spend 15 years behind the bar or N2m
fine.Decree Number 48 of 1989, now Act of Parliament of the agency states
that,”any organisation or individual that colludes with offenders to perpetrate
a drug offence or to conceal proceeds from the illicit drug trade and by so
doing bring the name of our great nation into disrepute is liable on conviction
of 25 years imprisonment or two million Naira fine.” Meanwhile, the widely anticipated
second album of the HKN boss earlier scheduled to drop on June 8, 2015, has a
new date. The new release date for the album entitled Baddest is Monday, August
10, 2015.
