Nigerian Afro singer Davido will be suing media platforms responsible for an “April Fools” joke alleging that he was arrested with cocaine in his private jet.
The award-winning singer said he finds “the fabrication of allegations of such international crimes extremely irresponsible regardless of the light of ‘April Fools’”.
Davido has instructed his lawyer to seek legal recourse.
In a statement released by the singer on his X account (formerly Twitter) in reaction to April Fools joke, he explained that he has never been arrested for any crime within Nigeria or in any of the hundreds of countries he has visited.
He added that he successfully completed his scheduled show in Uganda and Kenya and had since returned to Nigeria.
