Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), has urged the Department of State Services (DSS), to invite Nigerian musical artist, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido alongside his artist, Olamilekan Taiwo, known as Logos Olori, for questioning following the production and promotion of a musical video that it alleged was capable of igniting anarchy in Nigeria.

 

In a statement the founder and Executive Director of the group, Prof. Ishaq Akintola claimed the controversial video portrayed Islam in a bad light.

 

Davido and his artist, Logos Olori, have received backlashes on social media, following the release of the latter’s music video for his new single ‘Jaye Lo’ which he shared on Twitter.

 

In the video, Logos Olori and his team were seen praying and dancing in front of a mosque.

 

The 45-second clip of the new song posted over the weekend on Instagram by Davido has attracted wide criticism, with many calling for the singer to delete the video and tender an apology to Muslims for “disrespecting” Islam.

 

Reacting, yesterday, Akintola said: ‘We alert men of the DSS to invite both men for questioning to explain why they chose to produce and promote a musical video capable of igniting anarchy in Nigeria.

 

‘In the same vein, we invite the National Broadcasting Corporation, NBC, and the National Film and Video Censors Board, NFVCB, to immediately ban the insensitive musical video captioned ‘Jaye Lo’ by Logos Olori.’
