Davido, the Afrobeats star, has raised objections to a N2.3
billion lawsuit filed against him by Amaju Pinnick, a former president of the
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
On October 31, Pinnick filed a lawsuit alleging that Davido
breached a contract to perform at the 19th edition of the ‘Warri Again’ event
on October 6, 2023.
He claimed that Davido failed to appear at the event after
receiving a payment of $94,500.
He further alleged that he incurred an additional $18,000
for a private jet chartered to transport Davido and his team, who ultimately
did not show.
During a recent hearing, Davido, through his team of lawyers
led by Norrison Quakers (SAN), challenged the jurisdiction of the Delta state
high court in Effurun to hear the matter.
They argued that the issue should be treated as a debt
recovery case and that Pinnick should have issued a demand letter before
resorting to legal action.
Davido’s lawyers also denied that Sosoberokon, who signed
the contract on his behalf, was his authorised agent.
They also disputed Pinnick’s claim that the payment was for
a performance rather than promotional services.
The presiding judge, however, adjourned to December 14, 2023
for the court to rule on the preliminary objections filed in both cases.
