After coming under attack for meeting IGP Mohammed Adamu, Monday, Nigerian music star, Davido, has released an official statement to clear the air.

There were reports that he denied protesting while speaking with the IGP as he attempted to interrogate the musician.

Fans were disappointed after the songwriter mentioned that he didn’t go to Abuja to lead a protest, after being seen with protesters on the streets. Many Nigerians quickly went to the social media to rebuke him.

Recall Davido was in Abuja on Sunday, to lead a protest, after tweeting about the current state of injustice in the nation.

In his statement, he said he was taken out of context, after disclosing that he went to calm his fans down, not to protest.

“I want to make  it clear that i never went there to deny protesting…I am Nigerian first before anything ..” he said.

However, he has promised to drop the video of his discussion with the IGP.
