Nigerian music producer Don Jazzy and artist Tiwa Savage have reportedly been summoned by the Department of State Services (DSS) over alleged political utterances made against the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
According to Sahara Reporters, the invitation comes following Tiwa’s continued protest against the increasing number of rape cases in the country.
The news outlet reveals that together with Don Jazzy, the Korobia crooner was invited by the DSS two weeks ago and warned to be mindful of their posts on social media.
Twitter users have shared their thoughts on the revelation. See their tweets below:

Jonathan did well but had some cabinet members who were dragging us back from moving forward. But if I talk about this present administration, I might get myself in deep mess and I don't want to be quizzed like Don Jazzy and Tiwa Savage.

If Tiwa and Don Jazzy were really questioned about their political comments then we are in trouble in Naija. Where’s the democracy or freedom of speech? This is why celebrities are careful, they can find them easily and they have families to protect.

Don Jazzy should remind them that he and the Mavins performed Dorobucci at the APC rally in Lagos in 2015. That will make them go easy on him. Especially when they remember how Amaechi danced with his broom https://t.co/xR4P39EGYD

Nothing fear this government pass criticism or protest from influential southern Nigerians. Two seconds, Don Jazzy & Tiwa Savage don visit DSS office. Imagine what will happen if all Nigerian celebrities unite and call these idiots out. They will arrest the entire industry. ????

He is no sycophant though, he is no mindless lackey who is oblivious to the travails of the masses, what Don Jazzy has done for the youths during this Pandemic alone can rival what some governors have done for the youths in their state during their 4 yr tenure, tyranny be dammed! https://t.co/PYvJEAOCZq
