…as Lagos police warn Yemi Alade, Waje against making political statements

Department of State Security has cautioned music producer, Don Jazzy and singer, Tiwa Savage, to stop criticising the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari on the social media.

The DSS cautioned both Jazzy and Savage after inviting them to their office.

Tiwa Savage earned the invitation after she ran a campaign, ‘WeAreTired’, in reaction to a rise in cases of rape in the country.

She also made social media posts to draw the attention of the Buhari regime to the issue.

The singer and Don Jazzy were invited to the Lagos office of the DSS, where they were warned to be mindful of the kind of posts they make on social media.

Since the meeting with the DSS at their Shangisha office two weeks ago, Tiwa Savage has discontinued her campaign against rape, while Don Jazzy has toned down his activities on Twitter.

Shortly after, singers Yemi Alade and Waje were also invited by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Zubairu Muazu, who warned them to avoid making political comments that could anger the Buhari regime.

Muazu gave the warning during a brief on the measures put in place to stem the tide of rape in the country.
