<h2>Nigerian singer, Simi, recently shared a distressing incident she encountered at a passport office, where she was nearly denied entry due to her attire.</h2>

<p>The famous artist took to her Instagram page on Thursday, June 8, 2023, to recount the incident, shedding light on the <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/whos-your-mate-simi-corrects-her-2-year-old-girl-who-called-her-simisola/f95z450">incident that left her shocked</a> and frustrated.</p>

<p>According to the singer, upon reaching the gate of the passport office, she was informed that she couldn't proceed further because her dress was deemed indecent.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>"I went to the passport office to get my passport done and when I reached the gate, they said I should go back because I am indecently dressed,”</em> Simi revealed in the video.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Expressing her astonishment, she mentioned scrutinising her outfit and asking the gatekeeper if there was anything visibly inappropriate.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>"I looked myself up and down and asked, can you see anything in my body that is indecent?", </em>she questioned.</p>

<p>While the gatekeeper admitted that he couldn't see anything wrong, he still insisted that she should go back and wear something more <em>"down."&nbsp;</em></p>

<p>Despite being a well-known personality, the security guard remained adamant, refusing to grant her access to the facility.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It was only after the intervention of a senior official within the passport office that she was finally allowed inside.</p>

<p>Simi further revealed that she had to comply with additional requests to gain entry. She removed her nose ring and earrings and even covered her chest with a small scarf.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To her surprise, <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/simi-set-to-release-first-single-of-2023-titled-stranger/317h0qt">she was even asked to sing for the officials</a>. The entire incident left her feeling humiliated and questioning the validity of such strict dress code policies.</p>
