Ace Afrobeats singer, David Adedeji Adeleke, aka Davido and the immediate past President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick-led Brownhill Investment Company Limited have agreed to settle the breach of contract suit the latter filed against the former in an High Court of Delta State, Effurun, amicably.
Apart from settling the dispute out of court, the singer also accepted to pay N30 million to Pinnick’s company, being a part contribution to the claimant’s outstanding legal fees in the suit within seven days of execution of the terms of settlement.
Davido’s decision is part of the consent judgment entered in the N2 billion suit filed against him by the former NFF boss.
Prior to the agreement, the claimant had, through his lawyer, Kelechi Onwuegbuchulem, in suit EHC/183/2023, prayed the court to award N2 billion as general damages against Davido.

In the consent judgment, parties further agreed that the sum of $94,500 which the claimant had already paid to the defendants, will be considered for the performance at the event.
