Nigerian music star Davido used one of the world’s biggest sporting stages to raise awareness about the plight of abducted schoolchildren and teachers from Oyo State.
Ahead of his performance at the FIFA World Cup, the award-winning singer appeared in a customised black jacket bearing the names of the missing pupils and educators, alongside the message, “Bring Them Home.”
The powerful gesture was widely seen as an expression of solidarity with the victims and their families, while drawing attention to the ongoing concerns surrounding their safety and return.
Images and videos shared online showed Davido proudly displaying the jacket, which was covered with tags carrying the names of those affected by the abduction.
By taking the message to a global audience, the singer leveraged his international platform to amplify calls for the safe release of the captives and to keep public attention focused on the issue.
The move quickly gained traction on social media, with many Nigerians praising Davido for using his influence to spotlight a humanitarian cause and bring international visibility to the country’s kidnapping crisis.
