He has a UK visa, thinking he can run.”However, Dayo denied holding King Sunny Ade hostage in an interview with Punch.He maintained that the legendary musician is hale and hearty.
Dayo also refuted allegations of fraud levelled against him by Damilola.“The allegation is false. “On Saturday, April 26, 2025, my dad performed at the 60th birthday of a fan at 16 Musa Yar’Adua Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
He also had rehearsals with his band last week and is scheduled to perform in Akure on May 1,” he said.He added, “She (Damilola) is not in the right frame of mind for her to have made those posts. On Easter Sunday, she called me and said she wanted to speak with dad, because she doesn’t live in Nigeria.
I gave the phone to my dad, and they spoke for about 30 minutes. I then told her that if she wanted to see him, she could come to Nigeria. $(document).
ready(function(){(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})}); “The moment she started making nasty comments about dad, she crossed the line.
You cannot speak ill of my father and expect me to still reckon with you, no matter who you are. Even my mother wouldn’t do that. Why would you (Damilola) go on social media and call daddy names?”He said King Sunny Ade would release a statement on social media within 24 hours to clear the air on the matter.
