A settlement has been granted to Brownhill Investment Company and Davido by a Delta High Court sitting in Effurun. Justice Michael Obi of High Court Three, Effurun, commended both parties on Thursday for reaching an out-of-court settlement. The company that sued Davido is called Brownhill Investment Company and it is owned by Mr Amaju Pinnick, a former President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). In October 2023, the company filed a suit, marked EHC/183/2023, against the afrobeat singer Davido and his music label, Davido Music Worldwide Limited, as joint defendants. Brownhill Investment Company sued Davido and his label due to a breach of contract to perform at the 19th edition of the ‘Warri Again Concert’. The company demanded a sum of N2 billion as general damages against the defendants and also prayed the court for N150 million as legal and professional fees with an additional N30 million as filling cost. Responding to the court verdict, counsel to the defendants, Mr Oladayo Ogungbe, told NAN that both parties had decided to explore the out-of-court settlement. As part of the settlement, Davido is expected to perform again at the Warri concert on October 4. Ogungbe said that an out-of-court settlement was better than going through the rigours of litigation and is a win-win situation for both parties. The ‘Warri Again’ concert is an annual event organised by Pinnick to celebrate entertainers from the Niger Delta region.
