The singer appeared on stage wearing a custom black leather jacket adorned with green buttons bearing the names of pupils and teachers abducted in Oyo State. The kidnapping incident, which occurred in May 2026, plunged the nation into mourning and anxiety after armed men launched coordinated attacks on three schools in the Ahoro-Esinele and Yawota axis of Oriire Local Government Area, abducting several students and teachers.
The tragedy deepened following reports confirming the death of a mathematics teacher, Michael Oyedokun. A disturbing video later surfaced online, allegedly showing the teacher being beheaded by his captors.
The incident sparked widespread outrage on social media and triggered protests by residents, students, and educators, who blocked major roads demanding stronger security for schools and rural communities.Davido used his performance to call for urgent government action. Inscribed boldly on the back of his jacket were the words: “BRING THEM HOME,” a message demanding the rescue of victims still in captivity.
In 2022, he established the Davido Adeleke Foundation to provide structured support for orphanages and people in need. His advocacy record also includes donations to charitable causes and the use of his social media platforms to spotlight pressing national issues.
