Fans of Nigerian Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, expressed their frustration on social media following a chaotic concert at Michael Okpara Square in Enugu. What was expected to be an electrifying night of music reportedly descended into disorder.
According to Naija News, Davido had earlier announced the return of his “5ive Tour” in Nigeria, with scheduled performances in several cities, including Akwa Ibom, Adamawa, Enugu, Ibadan, and Lagos.
The tour kicked off in Akwa Ibom on October 26, continued in Adamawa on October 29, and reached Enugu on November 1. It is set to wrap up with shows in Ibadan on November 9 and Lagos on December 25.
While previous stops were reportedly smooth, the Enugu concert faced heavy criticism from attendees. Complaints highlighted overcrowding, poor crowd management, harassment, and lapses in security.
Reports indicate that over 40,000 people attended the Enugu event almost double the venue’s 20,000-person capacity leading to confusion and safety issues.
