Self-acclaimed Omo Baba Olowo, David Adeleke, otherwise known as Davido, may be sentenced to prison for promoting drug trafficking in one of his
latest videos, Fans Mi.
This is just as the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has concluded plans to summon the Dami Duro crooner to explain the story behind the video.
In the controversial video, Davido, an MTN ambassador tries to seal a deal with a drug dealer to supply cocaine while the dealer hands him cases of dollars for the transaction. Davido
then goes back to his mansion where he can be seen aided by the brassieres-and-panties flaunting ladies preparing the ‘cocaine’.
However, the ‘cocaine’ Davido delivered to the drug dealer was only semovita (a local Nigerian
food).
Mitchell Ofoyeju, Director of Public Affairs of the NDLEA, while reacting to the development, said he had watched the video and noticed it
was not okay for public viewing.

He said, “The video has no positive impact on
the society, no ethical message either; instead, it is evidently against what we confess. I have to this effect set up a panel to check mate him, his video, why he would go ahead with such a
video where he was seen exchanging a brief case purportedly containing sedatives for dollars, exhibiting affluence which is questionable, probably based on drug trafficking or something I can’t conclude on
for now’.
He went further to say that the panel will not only meet with Davido, but will also look into why the video was let out to the market when he believes there is meant to be a body that screens or edits videos or songs before they
are finally released.
“All these put together will aid in investigating
and verifying the necessary facts before we
will give our take on the issue”, he added.
Findings by this reporter shows that if the
singer is eventually roped, he may spend 15
years behind the bar or N2m fine.
