Controversial Nigerian singer, Azeez Fashola, better known as Naira Marley has said the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) are his friends.
TheNewsGuru recalls that the ‘Inside Life’ singer was convicted and fined N200,000 by an Abuja mobile court for flouting COVID-19 guidelines.
This comes after the police earlier arraigned him before the Lagos state special offences court at Oshodi over the same incident where he was fine N100,000 after pleading guilty.
In April, Marley was also detained by the police and arraigned alongside Funke Akindele, a Nollywood actress, after the latter hosted a house party that the former attended, despite Lagos’ lockdown measures at the time.
The charges against him was later withdrawn after he apologized to Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the state governor, and promised he would not indulge in such going forward.
Reflecting on his travail with the police, Marley said he and the security agency are like two friends that cannot be separated.
“Police is my friend. Naira Marley & Police 5&6,” he wrote on Twitter.
The singer’s knack for controversies has earned him admiration amongst young Nigerians.
