Pop star, Davido, has denied saying his father will buy off the whole Igbo land and stop the Biafra agitation.
He made the denial after someone drew his attention to a fake tweet of him making the provocative statement.
The tweet, sent from a doctored Davido Twitter handle reads: “My father will just buy off the whole Igbo land. And their stupid Biafra will stop, stupid Igbos.”
