Davido Uses FIFA World Cup Stage to Highlight Oyo School Abductions

Nigerian music star Davido reportedly used his performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup countdown concert in Los Angeles to draw global attention to the abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State, Nigeria.

During the high-profile event, Davido was said to have worn a customised jacket displaying the names of abducted students and teachers from the Oriire Local Government Area, along with the message “Bring Them Home,” turning his performance into a global advocacy moment.

The gesture was linked to a reported school attack in May 2026 in which armed men allegedly abducted dozens of pupils and teachers in Oriire district. Reports also claim that one teacher was killed in captivity, while several victims remain missing weeks after the incident.

The situation has intensified concerns over insecurity affecting schools in Nigeria, with families still awaiting updates and calls growing for stronger government response and rescue efforts
