A few days back there were reports that Davido might be called in for questioning by the NDLEA for allegedly displaying hard drugs in his new music video ‘Fans Mi’ in which he featured US rapper Meek Mill. Now those reports have been confirmed as the Director of Public Affairs of the NDLEA, Mitchell Ofoyeju, told Punch on Saturday that the anti-drug agency is conducting a full-scale investigation into the making of the video and an 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 said. “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?” he concluded.
