Afrobeats superstar Davido has mocked the Nigeria Police Force over reports that some officers deployed to Osun State for the August 15 governorship election have remained stranded in the state weeks after the poll.
Davido reacted to the development in a post on his verified X handle, questioning whether the officers were still in Osun because they failed to deliver the expected electoral outcome.
“Could it be because dem no deliver?” the singer tweeted.
The officers, reportedly drawn from various Mobile Police Force squadrons, were deployed to Osun State as part of security arrangements for the governorship election.
However, reports indicate that several of them have yet to return to their original formations and have remained in different camps across the state weeks after the election ended.
Davido’s comment appeared to reference his support for the incumbent governor, Ademola Adeleke, during the election.
The singer had openly backed Adeleke, who is his uncle, throughout the election campaign.

Adeleke, who contested under the platform of the Accord party won the election after securing 511,067 votes across the state.
His major challenger, Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress (APC), polled 444,815 votes.
Adeleke won in 19 local government areas, while Oyebamiji secured victory in 11 local government areas.
The reported continued deployment of police personnel has generated attention, with questions being raised over why officers sent to provide security during the election have not yet been redeployed to their respective formations.
Davido’s remark has since added a political dimension to the development, given his public support for Adeleke during the election.
