The organisers of the concert filed a lawsuit worth N2.3 billion against Davido Music Worldwide (DWM) limited before a high court in Effurun, Delta. 

The claimant — under the name Brownhill Investments Company Limited — is praying to the court for N150 million as legal and professional fees and an additional N30 million as the cost of filing the suit. 

They also seek an order directing Davido to tender a public apology on all his social media accounts and in two national daily newspapers for four consecutive days.

Last week, Iyabo Ojo alleged that Naira Marley, the Marlian Records boss, “spiked my children’s food and drinks with drugs during visits to his residence”. 

The actress said she is awaiting the outcome of the ongoing investigation into Mohbad’s death before pursuing her own case against Marley.

“I thought Naira Marley was a sensible person. I used to send my children to his house and he would be giving them drugs to take,” she said.

“He used to put it in their food and drink and you think I will support him? I am waiting for the justice for Mohbad’s case to be completed before I start my own case with him.”
