NDLEA to probe Davido over ‘Fans Mi’ video

Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA,
has set up a panel to investigate a music video
released by Davido in which he displayed a
substance suspected to be hard drugs.
The video in question is ‘Fans mi’, in which he
featured an American rapper and member of the
Maybach Group, Meek Mill.
The vidoe showed Davido with a briefcase filled
with dollars and another bag filled with parcels of
a substance suspected to be hard drugs.
The Director of Public Affairs of the NDLEA, Mr.
Mitchell Ofoyeju, who spoke to Punch on Saturday
said that the investigative panel might invite
Davido for questioning if the need arose.
He said, “I am aware that a panel is working on it
(the video). The panel was set up soon after the
video was released few weeks ago.
“When our attention was drawn to it, we viewed it
and we discovered that it was improper. There is
no moral lesson in it and he was just advertising
drug trafficking.
“In the video, he exchanged a brief case
supposedly containing narcotics for dollars. He
was displaying affluence in the video. If it (the
plot) had climaxed in an arrest and possible
detention, we would have congratulated him for
partnering with us. But the way he portrayed drug
trafficking in the video was a means to an end,
which the end is a life of affluence which we
disagree with.”
He added, “We are looking at the issue
holistically. We believe that there should be a
body that was supposed to censor videos before
they go out. Those are the things we want to
investigate and verify. Was the video submitted
for approval? If it was submitted, why was it
approved, with such content?”
