VIDEO: Protests Erupt in Borno State Over Davido's Controversial Video
Angry youths in Borno State took to the streets of Maiduguri to express their grievances against music megastar Davido's recent Twitter post. 

The singer shared a clip of the music video for his signee, Logos Olori's new song 'Jaye Lo,' which depicts people praying and dancing in front of a mosque. 

The video sparked criticism from many Muslims, who felt it portrayed Islam in a bad light. 

In response to the growing controversy, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) called on the Department of State Services (DSS) to invite Davido and Logos Olori for questioning regarding the video. 

The call for investigation stems from concerns about the video's potential to incite religious tensions and disrespect Islamic practices.

As the video circulated online, some individuals and groups voiced their disapproval, believing it showed a lack of sensitivity towards the sacredness of mosques and Islamic prayers. 

The portrayal of dancing in front of a mosque in the music video was particularly controversial for many Muslims.

The demonstrations in Maiduguri reflect the frustration and disappointment felt by some members of the community over what they perceive as a disregard for their religious beliefs. 

The situation has sparked discussions on social media, with individuals expressing diverse opinions about the appropriateness of the music video's content.

The controversy has also highlighted the need for artists to exercise caution and cultural sensitivity when creating content that involves religious or sacred spaces. In a country as diverse as Nigeria, where various religious groups coexist, it is essential for public figures and celebrities to be mindful of the potential impact of their actions and artistic expressions.
