Davido responds to reports of alleged arrest in Kenya for drug trafficking

Nigerian singer David Adeleke, popularly known in music circles as Davido, has denied claims making the rounds that he was recently arrested in Kenya.

Recall that a report suggesting that the ‘Skelewu’ crooner had been taken into police custody at Nairobi‘s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport went viral on April 1st.

According to the report that surfaced in the Kenyan media, the Grammy nominated musician and seven members of his entourage were taken into custody when drugs were discovered in the private aircraft they used to enter the country.

He also used the medium to inform that his legal counsel is making moves to initiate legal proceedings against the peddlers of the report, which he described as irresponsible.
