Davido Set To Pay Former NFF President, Amaju Pinnick N30m Over Breach Of Contract
Nigerian music star, David Adeleke better known by his stage name, Davido is set to pay former President of the Nigerian Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick N30m.
Recall that days back, A Delta State High Court sitting in Effurun had refused the singer’s application seeking a stay of proceedings in the N2 billion suit filed against him by Amaju.
During the hearing of the case, Davido’s counsel informed the court that there was a pending appeal and that the defendants, Davido and his record label had filed a motion for a stay of proceedings.

However, he applied to withdraw the motion and submitted that the Court of Appeal had become seized with authority over the proceedings pending before the lower court.
The Counsel to Amaju didn’t oppose the application to withdraw the motion and the court granted the same.
Unfortunately, the court in a bench ruling upheld the claimant’s argument and held that until an order saying further proceedings is obtained from the Court of Appeals, the High Court will continue with proceedings in the case.
In an update to the case by Daily Post, the singer has agreed to settle the breach of contract suit filed against him by Amaju at the High Court of Delta State, Effurun.
Davido is set to settle the dispute out of court and has agreed to pay N30 million to Amaju, being a part contribution to the claimant’s outstanding legal fees in the suit within seven days of execution of the terms of settlement.
