Femi Falana, a renowned human rights lawyer, has shared the reason why his son, Falz, a popular Nigerian rapper and activist, constantly “embarrasses” the government of Nigeria.

Speaking at an event in Lagos, Falana explained that his frequent arrests as a legal practitioner were a cause of concern to his son while growing up.

He said, “One of these guys one day said, ‘Falana talk to your son; he should stop embarrassing the government.

“I said which government? You mean that boy who is an adult? Can I give you his number so you can talk to him?

“But be careful because when that boy was growing up, I was being arrested from time to time. So, the only language he understood was detention, arrest and the rest of them.

“One day, when that boy was six, he asked his mother, our teacher taught us that only criminals were arrested. Is my father a criminal? Why is he always being arrested?

“And the mother had to say that in Nigeria, under the military, only two sets of people were arrested: Criminals suspects and political suspects.

“Political suspects are those who are out to expose the criminality of the government. That is what you see going on.”
