Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has alleged that soldiers are attempting to prevent him from entering Osun State as residents prepare to vote in Saturday’s governorship election.
Davido made the claim in a post on his verified X account early Saturday, saying he had been informed that soldiers were seeking to stop him from gaining access to the state.
“I’ve been reliably informed that soldiers are trying to prevent me from entering Osun tomorrow, this won’t happen, every citizen of Nigeria has the right to movement at any point of time,” he wrote.
The allegation came hours after the Nigeria Police Force announced a restriction of movement across Osun State as part of security measures for the election.
According to the police, the restriction took effect from 12:00 midnight on Friday, August 14, and will remain in place until 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 15, 2026.
