Nigerians slam Davido over arrest of ladies bearing pregnancy fake news

By Taiwo Okanlawon

Nigerians have reacted to a viral video about the arrest of the two sisters, Helen and Susan, who accused afro-pop singer, Davido, of impregnating one of them.

Last week, the two sisters in another video claimed that Davido had a sexual encounter with Susan, which resulted in a pregnancy. Davido denied the accusation.

Reacting to the video, Davido threatened to ensure that the ladies end up in jail. He went on to place a one million naira bounty on them.

It didn’t take long before the women in the video came out to deny their claims. They said they were pranksters.

The accusers were later seen in another viral video online on Tuesday, October 29, 2019, in handcuffs after getting arrested by Davido’s hypeman, Special Spesh.

Spesh could be heard telling one of the ladies to lift up her head or get a slap in the face. The singer later asked them to be freed.

Fuck it … release the idiots 😇

Since the release of the video, there have been mixed reactions on Twitter about it.

Some of Buhari’s supporters on social media reminded Davido how he attacked the President during the Osun governorship election but was never touched, accusing the musician of being a hypocrite.

Popular Buhari supporter, Kayode Ogundamisi, said on Twitter that Davido would have abused power if his uncle had emerged as the governor of Osun State.

Imagine @iam_Davido as first Cousin in @StateofOsun with his Uncle @IsiakaAdeleke1 as Governor.

And @MBuhari is meant to be the tyrant o! https://t.co/lYFWWKEBHX

Another Buhari supporter, Jack Obinyan, said Davido should have left the women alone after they apologised for the prank.

Let those girls counter sue him for kidnapping, false imprisonment, assault, invasion of privacy ,phycological torture

Davido was wrong. He simply intimidated those girls. If they had money…. That's not how to handle defanation. It's not a criminal offense that needs parading one in handcuff. Shame on him
