Nigerian music star Davido used his appearance at the FIFA World Cup Countdown Concert in Los Angeles to draw global attention to the abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State.
The Afrobeats singer performed wearing a custom-made jacket with the inscription “Bring Them Home,” alongside the names of 39 abducted pupils and seven teachers from Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
The victims were kidnapped in May after armed men attacked schools in the Ahoro-Esinele community. The incident reportedly claimed the lives of a school official and a motorcyclist, while a teacher later died in captivity.
Davido further highlighted the issue by reposting a message on X (formerly Twitter) that showcased the jacket and emphasized the need to keep the victims in public consciousness.
The FIFA World Cup Countdown Concert is part of FIFA’s activities leading up to the 2026 World Cup and features performances from artists across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Davido shared the stage with several international acts, including Major Lazer.
The singer has previously spoken about the abduction and has joined calls for urgent action to secure the safe return of the victims.
His gesture has since sparked reactions online, with many social media users commending him for using a global platform to raise awareness about the ongoing situation and advocate for the abducted pupils and teachers.
