Dolapo Badmus, former Lagos Police PRO, has called for the arrest of a private school’s proprietor and head teacher for having students sing the outdated national anthem.
In an Instagram post, she mentioned overhearing the students singing the old anthem while passing by the school.
Badmus has informed the police and plans to see to it that they are prosecuted.
She said;
“If, as at today, three days after the President of Federal Republic of Nigeria signed and assented the New National Anthem into law and you are not able to recite it in a whole, then you are a suspect.
“I just passed through a private school and I could here them singing the old National Anthem! “Arise oh compatriots”! (We are no more arising as compatriots, it is Nigeria we are hailing now).
“I have called police to come and arrest not only the proprietor but the head teacher inclusive (I will make sure they are charged to court) Don’t ask me for what offence? Consult any lawyer to learn more…….. Anyone not singing the new national anthem is sabotaging Nigeria L, I won’t tolerate any unpatriotic attitude.”
