A Kano-based musician; Mohammed Yusuf aka AGY, has bagged a two-year jail term for lyrics which apparently addressed the state government. He said; “Kano governor has already turned blind, I swear what you did is hurting us, For lucre, governor is more than a thief. For lucre, governor can sell out Goggo.”
In response to this on twitter, Falz said;
“HATE to see stuff like this! This is 2019. Any individual who feels defamed by any statement made by another person can sue for libel or slander under the law of defamation. It is shameful to see public officers using the machinery of the state to harass citizens. Anyone who knows the musician Mohammed Yusuf personally should please get in touch with me. We NEED to contend with this unjust sentence.
