One person has reportedly been killed following a clash between suspected thugs and security personnel attached to Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, at the palace of the Ataoja of Osogbo in Osun State.
The incident occurred during Governor Ademola Adeleke’s visit to the monarch’s palace, where the governor was accompanied by his nephew, Davido.
According to the Osun State Police Command, trouble reportedly started after a suspected political thug identified as Adebayo Taoreed, popularly known as “Small Rugged,” was prevented by Davido’s security details from gaining access to the singer.
Police said the confrontation escalated when other members of the suspected cult group joined the scene, resulting in an exchange of gunfire.
The security personnel reportedly fired into the air and used tear gas to disperse the suspected thugs, allowing the governor’s convoy and Davido to leave the palace safely.
The suspected gang later moved towards the Ayepe area and allegedly shot 60-year-old Tajudeen Yusuf in the Ita-Olokan area of Osogbo.
Davido, reacting to the incident on X, said the fight occurred outside the palace and had nothing to do with him or the governor.
The police said investigations into the incident are ongoing.
