Reno Omokri criticises Davido over advocacy for abducted Oyo schoolchildren

Nigeria's Ambassador-Designate to Mexico, Reno Omokri, criticized Afrobeats star Davido for drawing global attention to the abduction of pupils and teachers in Oyo State. Davido wore a custom jacket and shirt with victims' names at a FIFA World Cup countdown concert. Omokri argued that publicity helps terrorists, citing Margaret Thatcher that 'publicity is the oxygen of terrorism.' He also claimed security officials told him earlier high-profile campaigns made hostages too valuable.
