Nigerian Artist David Adedeji Adeleke alias Davido has revealed that he is seeking legal redress against K24 following a story on his alleged arrest at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
In a statement, dated Tuesday, April 2 the musician noted that he did not appreciate the story which was couched as part of the broadcaster’s April Fools’ Day editorial offering.
He added that the allegations tainted his name and his brand, insisting that he had not been arrested as alleged in the story.
Davido also indicated that he had already gotten in touch with his legal team which will be pursuing the matter on his behalf.
“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,” he stated.
