Nigerian music star Davido has drawn global attention after using his appearance at a FIFA World Cup-related event in Los Angeles to highlight the abduction of schoolchildren and teachers from Oyo State, Nigeria.
During his performance at a FIFA Countdown Concert, the singer wore a custom-designed jacket displaying the names of 39 abducted pupils and seven teachers from Oriire Local Government Area, along with the message “Bring Them Home.”
The gesture was widely seen as a public show of solidarity with the victims and their families, amid ongoing concerns about their safety and continued captivity.
By presenting the message on an international stage, the singer aimed to draw global attention to the situation and Nigeria’s wider security challenges, using the visibility of the event to amplify calls for urgent action.
Photos and videos shared online showed the jacket covered with tags bearing the names of those affected, sparking widespread reactions across social media platforms.
Many Nigerians praised the artist for using his influence to raise awareness, describing the act as a powerful humanitarian statement that keeps focus on the plight of the abducted victims.
