The Lagos state police
invited Augustine Kelechi widely known as Tekno to its station on Tuesday.
According to BBC Africa, Tekno, who was
initially reported to have been arrested, was invited for questioning by the
Nigeria Police and he voluntarily honoured the invitation in Lagos on Tuesday
to make a statement.
However, Tekno already debunked the claim that he was dancing with
semi-clad ladies on his official Instagram account on Sunday as he stated that
the van was used to convey his crew to a location for a shoot.
He wrote: “I will like to clear the
air about the situation of videos going around of girls in a truck dancing
around Lekki or Victoria Island.
“First of all, there was no reason
for us to be dancing in a truck around Lekki. There was no music and no
ventilation in the truck. We were shooting a music video and we had a shortage
of vehicles to convey people to the next location, because some of the cars
broke down in between the shoot. We divided ourselves into various vehicles
because we had been shooting all day and having fun, and we then moved to the
next location.
“However, this was about 12am. This
was no form of an advert for a strip club or dancing naked on the streets for
any type of reason. In addition, we respect the decency of 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 that it’s
the centre of excellence and also the centre of entertainment.
“We sincerely apologize if some
people saw this and felt offended by the scenery they saw, it was never
intended.”
