In a surprising turn of events, the rumors circulating about Nigerian musician Davido’s arrest in Kenya have been revealed to be nothing more than an elaborate April Fools’ Day prank.
Is Davido Arrested?
The initial reports suggested that Davido, real name David Adeleke, was apprehended by Kenyan authorities following his performance at the Raha Fest in Nairobi. Allegations surfaced that the Anti-Narcotics Police Unit had discovered three kilograms of cocaine on his private jet at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), sparking widespread speculation and concern.
However, it has now been confirmed that the entire story was fabricated for April Fools’ Day amusement. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has denounced the reports as ‘Fake News,’ clarifying that Davido and his crew were not arrested.
The publication responsible for the prank, K24 Digital, has admitted to the ruse, stating that the article was intended solely for April Fools’ Day entertainment. While some readers recognized the joke, others fell for the hoax, highlighting the power of April Fools’ Day mischief.
In light of the revelation, it’s been disclosed that Davido had already left Kenya following his performance at the Raha Fest, putting an end to any lingering speculation about his alleged involvement in illicit activities.
Meanwhile, amidst the commotion caused by the prank, Nigerian producer Samklef issued a warning to Davido, urging him to steer clear of involvement in another controversy involving Verydarkman’s arrest. Samklef cautioned Davido against intervening in the matter, emphasizing that forgiveness should reign despite past disputes.
As the April Fools’ Day prank fades into memory, Davido and his fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the sensationalized reports of his arrest were nothing more than a playful hoax.
