Osun Decides: Davido Raises Alarm Over Alleged Attempt to Block His Entry Into Osun

Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has alleged that soldiers are attempting to prevent him from entering Osun State as the state holds its governorship election today, Saturday, August 15, 2026.

Davido made the allegation in a post on his verified X account, insisting that every Nigerian citizen has the right to freedom of movement.

His statement came hours after the Nigeria Police Force announced a restriction of movement across Osun State from midnight on Friday until 6:00 p.m. on Saturday as part of security arrangements for the election.

Thousands of police officers and other security personnel have been deployed across the state to maintain peace and ensure the smooth conduct of the poll.

Davido, who is a nephew of incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke, has actively campaigned for his uncle, who is seeking re-election under the Accord Party.
