Davido raises global awareness over abducted Oyo schoolchildren
In a separate development, the singer recently drew global attention to the abduction of school children and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State during his performance at the FIFA World Cup Countdown Concert in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
The singer wore a customised jacket displaying the names of the 39 abducted children and their seven teachers. On the back of the outfit, he boldly wrote the message: “Bring Them Home.”
During his performance of his hit song Fall, Davido repeatedly showcased the jacket, using the moment to highlight the plight of the abducted victims and call for their safe return.
This is not the first time the singer has spoken out on the incident, as he had earlier urged relevant authorities on social media to ensure the victims are rescued without delay, stressing that the rising insecurity in the country must be urgently addressed.
