Aggrieved Muslim youths in Maiduguri recently protested to demonstrate their displeasure with the famous singer, David Adeleke, popularly called Davido, who posted a video clip they termed offensive to Islam on his Twitter page.
Many prominent Nigerian Muslims, including a former aide to ex-president Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, Senator Shehu Sani, and actor Ali Nuhi, asked Davido to take down the video and apologise to Muslims for “disrespecting” their religion.
Recall that Davido came under heavy criticism after sharing a music video clip of his signee, Logos Olori’s new single ‘Jaye Lo’, which captured people praying and dancing in front of a mosque.
The singer eventually bowed to pressure after 48 hours and deleted the controversial video but refused to apologise.
Some Muslim youths in Maiduguri took to the street setting a large banner of the singer on fire.
