Former Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick and his company, Brownhill Investment Company Limited, have accused superstar singer, Davido and his Logistics Manager, Isreal Afeare, of stealing and defamation respectively.
Pinnick and his company in a petition to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, filed by their counsel, Osaruyi Ayela-Uwangue, urged the police to investigate alleged criminal action of Davido with a view to prosecuting him.
Pinnick said that it discovered that Davido despite collecting payment of the sum of $94,500, and compelling the organisers of ‘Warri Again Concert’ to incur additional expenses of $18,000 for a private jet to take him to Warri, had also collected payment in respect of an event slated for the same date at Lux Nightclub Melbourne, 373 Chapel St South Yarra, Australia.
The Petition claimed Davido eventually performed at the event in Chapel St South Yarra, Australia, while ignoring ‘Warri Again’ event.
“It’s clear that Davido acted criminally in collecting payment for two events on the same date in two different continents. It is also clear that at the time he obtained the sum of $94,500 from our client under the false pretense of performing at the ‘Warri Again’ event, he actually acted criminally as he had no intention to showing up to perform at the event.
“Davido’s criminal conduct is further confirmed by the following facts: Refusal to respond to Our Client’s Letter of Reminder dated 29th September, 2023.
“His statement that he will not refund the payment collected from our client. The fact that he has already planned a similar event for Warri in December 2023.
“We humbly request that you use your good offices to investigate, the criminal action of Mr, David Adeleke a.k.a Davido, in respect of his criminal act of defrauding Our Client with a view to prosecuting him for same.”
Another petition was written by the Law firm against Davido’s Personal Logistics Manager, Israel Afeare a.k.a Israeldmw, for his social media handle posted several criminally defamatory and false statements, allegations and narratives against their client, Amaju Pinnick.
