Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido.

The Edo State Government has debunked a claim that it has banned Afrobeat musician, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, from entering the state.

This was contained in a statement on Friday by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Kassim Afegbua.

PUNCH Online had reported that the Senior Special Assistant on Digital Media to Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, Apostle Kassy Chukwu, had said Davido should not expect to perform in the state for the remainder of the governor’s tenure, amid the ongoing dispute between the singer and the governor.

Chukwu made the declaration in a video shared on YouTube by Peniel TV International Benin City, Nigeria, on Thursday.
