Osun 2019: EFCC Denies Freezing Davido’s Account
The Economic and Financial crime Commission (EFCC) has finally reacted to media claims that it has frozen the account of veteran Nigerian singer David Adeleke popularly known as Davido and that of his uncle, Ademola Adeleke.
The commission in a statement signed by its spokesman, Wilson Uwujareni said there was no truth in the claims being circulated by the Peoples Democratic Party (PPP) and some politically motivated elements the anti craft agency described the report as a plan to taint the image of the agency.
The statement real: “The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has been drawn to media publications alleging that it had frozen the account of Senator Ademola Adeleke, candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the September 22 Osun State government ship election and that of his family members including Davido.
For the avoidance of doubt, at no time did the EFCC place a freeze order on any account belonging to members of the Adeleke family. The purported freeze order which has unfortunately been amplified by pliable sections of the media without any attempt at confirmation is alien to the commission and another example of fake news.
The EFCC frowns at the seeming attempts by faceless forces to drag it into the political fray and for the umpteenth time restates its neutrality as a law enforcement organisation that is sworn to uphold the law at all times irrespective of whose interest is at stake”.
Recall that multiple award winning singer and song writer, Davido had reacted to the now viral reports that the EFFC allegedly froze 7 accounts belonging to his family the Adelekes Davido’s Uncle Ademola Adeleke is contesting in the up coming Osun State gubernatorial elections.
Reacting to the development in response to a question from a fun, Davido wrote: “Make Dene go wells, fargo for ATLM”. This development is coming days after the singer announced that he will be actively taking part in the campaigns for his uncle.
Emphasizing on his stardom and busy schedule, the DMN boss still manages to find enough time to record and release new songs as well as feature on songs by other artists.
He is arguably the most sort after artiste this year as he has featured in 18 songs so far. His songs are responsible for amplifying the popular slang ‘chee’ and ‘shekpe’ to give more expression to his music. Consistently, OBO (Omo Baba Olowo) has delivered in a chain of musical projects and has never disappointed his fans. One of his biggest hits this year “Assurance’ released in my already has over 22 million views on you Tube.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
