Skit Maker Arrested In Dubai After Posting Video Of Himself Spending Dirhams Recklessly

A  young man, who is a skit maker,  has been arrested  and taken into custody by the police in the United Arab Emirates after posting a video of himself on social media which had him dressed like an Emirati  having  thousands  of dirhams  in cash  and seeking to buy flashy cars.

The UAE resident in question was accused of posting ‘propaganda that stirs up public opinion and harms the public interest’  the WAM news agency said on Sunday.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that his arrest pending investigations, was ordered by the Federal Prosecution for Combating Rumours and Cybercrimes. He was also charged with publishing content that ‘insults the Emirati society’.

 He was filmed in traditional Emirati robes as he enters a luxury car showroom with two assistants carrying a large tray containing  thousands  of dirhams .

As seen in the said video, he asked for the highest-priced car and then rejects it, saying that at 2.2 million dirhams (nearly $600,000),  the car in question ‘is  not expensive enough’.

‘I need expensive, brother’  he says, while giving  the store assistants money to buy coffee, and ordering four pricey cars including a Rolls-Royce in a matter of seconds.

The video ‘reveals impudence and lack of appreciation of the value of money, in a manner that promotes a wrong and offensive mental image of Emirati citizens and ridicules them’ the WAM report said.

What he had done according to the Public Prosecution office had shown imprudence and lack of appreciation of the value of money.

The Public Prosecution office  has also summoned the car showroom’s owner, and urged social media users to ‘consider societal characteristics and embedded values of the UAE society… so as to avoid falling under the force of the law’- Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
