DSS Invites Don Jazzy and Tiwa Savage Over Alleged Political Utterances Against President Buhari’s Government

 

The Department of State Service, DSS, has reportedly invited Nigerian music producer, Michael Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy and Tiwatope Savage, also known as Tiwa Savage, for questioning over alleged political comments against President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.

Following the increase in rape cases in Nigeria, Tiwa Savage began a movement known as “WeAreTired” in protest of the situation.

The musician through the movement called on the current government to take action to stem the tide of rape in the country.

According to SaharaReporters, the call by Tiwa Savage for the Buhari’s administration to live up to its responsibilities to Nigerians earned the singer an invitation by the DSS.

Together with Don Jazzy, Savage was invited to the DSS office in Lagos two weeks ago during which they were warned to be careful with their posts on social media.

Shortly after the invitation, the celebrities together with colleagues Yemi Alade and Waje were summoned by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Zubairu Muazu, who while sharing efforts they were making to tackle rape and other problems in the state and country, warned the musicians to steer clear of political comments in order not to incur the wrath of the President Buhari administration.

A member of Tiwa Savage’s management team, who confirmed the development noted that the singer will not stop speaking for Nigerians regardless of any move by the government.

Apart from the two celebrities, the DSS recently invited a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Obadiah Mailafia, over his comments on the operations of Boko Haram in the Northern part of Nigeria.
