Popular Nigeria singer Simi Kosoko professionally known as Simi narrates her ordeal with officials at the passport office
The singer said she was denied entry into the passport office because of her dressing which the security man termed as ‘indecent dressing’
Simi, despite her celebrity status, revealed that she was told to return home and change her outfit before she could be permitted inside the office.
The Security officials remain adamant without considering her personality.
In the video shared by the award-winning singer, she was seen wearing a sleeveless above-knee skinny gown. But she revealed that she had to cover the upper part of her dress with a scarf.
Additionally, the wife of Adekunle Gold further stated that she had to remove her nose rings and big ring earring before she was considered to enter into the office.
