David Adedeji Adeleke well known by his stage name Davido has threatened legal action against k24 over allegations that he had been arrested at JKIA.
Through a statement, the Afrobeats star noted that that publication by the media house was extremely irresponsible of them even though it was part of April 1st fools day celebration.
“Fam, it has come to my attention that false reports regarding an arrest circulated online on April 1st, which has since led to a barrage of calls.” he said
He continued by saying how he has visited hundreds of countries and not even one day has been arrested. The countries include his home country Nigeria and the USA where he has some interests.
“I want to assure my fans that these re-ports are entirely untrue. I successfully completed my scheduled shows in Uganda and Kenya and have since re-turned home to Nigeria.
I’d also like to note that I have never been arrested by anyone in any country for any crime in the world. Not my home Nigeria, my home America, or any of the hundreds of countries I’ve made home throughout my career.
I find the fabrication of allegations of such international crimes extremely irresponsible regardless of the light of `April Fools’, and my lawyer is seeking legal recourse against the media parties responsible for generating this misinformation” said Davido
The April 1st publications caught the attention of many Kenyans who noted that it was an éxpensive joke’ given the level of allegation even though it was April fools day. Despite the complains, the media company never pulled down the post attracting DCI Kenya who labelled it fake.
