Popular Nigerian music producer, Michael Ajereh widely known as ‘Don Jazzy’, and Tiwatope Savage popularly known as ‘Tiwa Savage’, were invited by the Department of State Serviced for questioning over alleged political utterances against the administration of President Muhamamdu Buhari. 

Tiwa Savage who began a movement known as ‘WeAreTired’ in protest following the rise in sexual assault especially against women in recent months.

Through the movement, the musician called on the Buhari administration to stem the tide over the incessant rise of rape in the country.

According to report, this in addition to several other social media post calling on the government to live up to it’s responsibilities to Nigerians led to DSS invitation of Tiwa Savage.

Alongside Don Jazzy, Tiwa was invited to the DSS office in Lagos two weeks ago, in which they were warned about their post on social media.

Shortly after that episode, the two 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, said that the celebrated female artiste will not stop speaking for Nigerians regardless of any move by government.

But as a result, both celebrities appear to have toned down their social media posts in recent days after the meeting with the DSS and police in Lagos.

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.
