DSS Summons Don Jazzy,Tiwa Savage Over Alleged Political Utterances Against Buhari’s Government

The Department of State Service (DSS) reportedly invited Nigerian music producer, Don Jazzy, and singer Tiwa Savage, for questioning over their alleged political utterances against the administration of President Muhamamdu Buhari.

According to SaharaRepoters, Tiwa Savage was invited by the DSS after she began a movement known as “WeAreTired” in protest to the recent rise in segxwal assault cases across Nigeria especially against women.

Although Tiwa only called on Buhari’s administration to tackle rape and other problems in the country, she was invited along with Don Jazzy at the DSS office in Lagos two weeks ago during which they were warned to be careful with theeir posts on the social media.

Shortly after their release, the two celebrities together with colleagues Yemi Alade and Waje were summoned by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Zubairu Muazu.

Muazu reportedly 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 to SaharaRepoters, said that the celebrated female artiste will not stop speaking for Nigerians regardless of any move by governnent.

But as if to confirm the subtle warning from governnent, Don Jazzy and Tiwa Savage both appear to have toned down their social media posts in recent days after the meeting with the DSS and police in Lagos.

For example, Don Jazzy, who is known to actively engage his numerous followers on social media, last posted anything on Twitter more than 22 hours while Tiwa never continued with her hashtag after the meeting with DSS Director at their Shangisha, Lagos office.

Apart from the celebrities, the DSS had also 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.

Am not surprised at the height of stupidly of a DSS to warned people not to speak their mind concerning a fail government. Buhari is a fail government they should continue to criticised the government no matter the threat.

There is no difference between the general Buhari of 1984 and general Buhari of today 2020. NSO will arrest you for talking about the government, and DSS will arrest you now. I told you Yoruba people not to bring general back, but they said that what ever Tinubu says is final. sorry Nigerians.
