Falz has granted an interview to defend his use of hijab-clad women dancing Shaku Shaku in his This Is Nigeria video.

Recall that we recently reported that Muslim Rights Concern (Muric) issued a seven-day ultimatum to the artist to take down his This is Nigeria video. In an interview with Tope Olowoniyan on Verified, the rapper said this to defend the video:

”It was very intentional. We continue to forget or neglect the innocence of the girl child and because of all the issues that we’re having, the kidnappings and the killings especially in the Northern part of the country, the Chibok girls and very more recently the Dapchi girls, It is very disturbing and we don’t often talk about them and I was a bit surprised to hear people say why would you put girls in Hijab to dance Shaku Shaku…common, is there anything wrong with people dancing because they are wearing Hijabs? Is there any law against that?”
