The lawsuits followed altercations between Davido and Mr Pinnick in October after the musician failed to show up for an event he was paid to perform.

The former President of the Nigeria Football Federation , Amaju Pinnick, has taken legal action against afrobeat musician David Adeleke, popularly known asMr Pinnick said Davido made incendiary posts against him on social media in October, and that since then his life and that of his immediate family have been in grave danger and threat of physical bodily harm, injury and attacks.

After failing to attend the Warri show, Mr Pinnick addressed and apologised to the event attendees in Warri, explaining to them that all contractual obligations and payments to secure the attendance of the artist were met but he still failed to show up. Mr Pinnick told a high court that these statements by Davido implied that the “former NFF president is a thief and is only able to live in Ikoyi because he crushed the dreams of several Nigerian footballers.”

Mr Pinnick said he was hesitant to “engage the service of Davido because the musician had disappointed him in 2014 and 2019 editions of the “Warri Again” where the singer didn’t show up to perform after he had been paid for the events and he was compelled to make refunds thereafter.” Davido, who broke onto the scene in 2011, had said he communicated to the organisers “months ago” that he was not going to be available. The singer added that “it’s a shame” they went ahead to continue promoting the show using his name.

He also wants the court to restrain Davido or any of his agents from writing any false, malicious and unverified allegations against him.
