The Lagos State Signage and Advertising Agency, LASSAA has suspended the licence of Provision Media System Limited, the advertising agency, whose display truck was used to shoot the much social media publicized video with strippers in Lagos.
Meanwhile, Nigerian musician, Augustine Kelechi, popularly known as Tekno has apologised over the controversial video in which he was seen with strippers dancing seductively in a truck.

Section 134 (a) further states that “an indecent act in a public place makes both parties engaging in the act liable to imprisonment for two years”.
It’s been reported that the act could earn the singer two years imprisonment. However, Tekno has taken to his Instagram to his Instagram to tender an unreserved apology to everyone, who felt offended by the video.
