Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA has frowned against pop star, Davido's new music video entitled Fans Mi for promoting drug trafficking.

in which he displayed a substance suspected to be hard drugs.
In a report by The Punch, the Director of Public Affairs of the NDLEA, Mitchell Ofoyeju, expressed that the investigative panel might invite the BET award winner for questioning if the need arose.
'I am aware that a panel
is working on it (the video). The panel was set up soon after the video
was released few weeks ago. When our attention was drawn to it, we
viewed it and we discovered that it was improper. There is no moral
lesson in it and he was just advertising drug trafficking.
'In
the video, he exchanged a brief case supposedly containing narcotics
for dollars. He was displaying affluence in the video. If it (the plot)
had climaxed in an arrest and possible detention, we would have
congratulated him for partnering with us.
'But
the way he portrayed drug trafficking in the video was a means to an
end, which the end is a life of affluence which we disagree with. We are
looking at the issue holistically. We believe that there should be a
body that was supposed to censor videos before they go out.
'Those
are the things we want to investigate and verify. Was the video
submitted for approval? If it was submitted, why was it approved, with
such content?' Ofoyeju revealed.
The controversial music video, which was shot by Sesan Ogunro and featured American rapper and member of the Maybach Group, Meek Mill, has gotten over 1million views since it's release.
