Afrobeats icon David Adeleke, globally known as Davido, has voiced profound alarm over escalating violence in Nigeria following two devastating attacks. The singer reacted to the kidnapping of 25 schoolgirls in Kebbi State and the massacre of worshippers at a Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) in Kwara State.
Details of the Coordinated Attacks
Gunmen attacked Government Girls Comprehensive School in Maga, Kebbi, abducting 25 students and killing the Vice Principal. Less than 24 hours later, terrorists struck a CAC church in Eruku, Kwara State, killing multiple worshippers. These incidents highlight Nigeria’s worsening security crisis.
Davido’s Emotional Response
Sharing his anguish on social media, Davido called the atrocities “heartbreaking and unacceptable.” He expressed solidarity with affected families, stressing: “No family deserves this pain.” The musician warned against normalizing such violence, declaring: “These acts must never become our norm.”
Call for National Unity and Child Protection
Davido emphasized children’s fundamental right to safety: “Every Nigerian child deserves to grow up in hope and security.” He urged citizens to unite against terrorism, stating: “We must stand together to build a nation where children live without fear.”
The artist appealed for public cooperation with security agencies: “Everything must be done to rescue these girls. I urge anyone with credible information to come forward safely.” He also offered prayers for Kwara’s grieving families: “May God comfort them, bring peace to Nigeria, and shame violence sponsors.”
