“Kids Are Being Abducted”: Davido defends viral world cup outfit

Nigerian afrobeats star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido has spoken up regarding his decision to highlight Nigeria’s growing kidnapping crisis during his FIFA World Cup performance.

Speaking during a recent interview, the singer spoke about the reluctance of some influential individuals to openly discuss security challenges in Nigeria.

Davido noted that the silence of some influential people over the state of security in Nigeria is because they want to protect the image of the country. He noted however, that protecting the nation’s reputation should never come at the expense of speaking out about issues affecting innocent citizens.

“A lot of people do not want to talk about what is happening in my country because they want to protect a lot of images. Which image is there to protect if little children are being kidnapped?” he said, stressing that human lives matter more than public relations,” he stated.

P.M.NEWS recalls that Davido wore a specially designed outfit bearing the names of the missing victims. The gesture was aimed at raising international awareness and keeping public attention on the ongoing tragedy.
