Nigerians have begun to react after a rumour swirled that one of the bank accounts of Davido has been frozen by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The allegation was made by a Twitter account belonging to @PDP_2019 on Friday, September 14, 2018.
BREAKING NEWS:
EFCC freezes 7 different bank account of the Adeleke family (@IsiakaAdeleke1 PDP gubernatorial Candidate’s family) including that of @iam_Davido and his multi billionaire dad.

“EFCC freezes 7 different bank account of the Adeleke family (IsiakaAdeleke1 PDP gubernatorial Candidate’s family) including that of iam_Davido and his multi billionaire dad,” the tweet reads.
The singer also responded to the allegation without denying or clearly stating that it was seized.

“”Make dem go Wells Fargo for ATL na,” he wrote in response to a fan’s tweet about the account frozen allegation.

In another tweet, Davido wrote, “God dey, OBO dey!!’
Confirming this, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to direct the EFCC to immediately unfreeze the private bank accounts of its governorship candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke, in the Osun State election, and those of his family members, including singer.
The party described the freezing of the accounts as oppressive, tyrannical, provocative and a direct recipe for crisis in the state, given that the people of Osun are solidly behind Adeleke ahead of the election.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement in Abuja on Saturday, said the freezing of the Adelekes’ accounts by an agency of the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government, a week to the governorship election, underscored the fact that the APC ” is mortally afraid of our candidate and has been seeking ways to undermine his electoral fortunes.”
He added, “Such savage attack on innocent citizens confirms the viciousness of the Buhari-led APC administration to use any means whatsoever to subjugate Nigerians and appropriate power to itself at all cost.
Meanwhile, some Nigerians have been reacting to the news:
Davido confirms that EFCC froze his account, froze his dad’s account, his uncle, Ademola Adeleke’s account and that of 7 members of their family in general one week before the Osun State Gubernatorial election. Na wa.

EFCC reportedly freezes accounts of PDP’s Governorship Candidate, Ademola Adeleke, Davido, Davido’s Billionaire dad, Chief Adedeji Adeleke and more Adelekes ONE WEEK TO Osun State Elections.
National agencies are now being used for witch-hunt. There was a country indeed.
