‘OBO First Think Say Na Bandit’ — Davido Goes Into “Combat Mode” as Fan Charges at Him During Abidjan Concert!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

A tense moment erupted during Davido’s concert in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire — after a fan seemingly charged at the stage, forcing the singer into a defensive stance. The incident has since gone viral, with many applauding Davido’s composure under pressure.

What Happened

• During a live performance, a fan rushed toward the stage and attempted to reach Davido. In the clip circulating online, Davido immediately reacted — stepping back and raising his hands defensively, prompting security to intervene. [1]
• In the aftermath, some fans joked that Davido’s quick reaction suggested he first thought the fan was a “bandit” before realizing it was an over‑zealous supporter. [1]
• Concert organisers reportedly increased security after the incident and ensured the show resumed once order was restored. [2] Why It Matters
• The episode highlights the security risks artists face during large concerts — especially when audience members breach barriers or approach stages too closely.
• offers a reminder for event organisers across Africa and beyond to reinforce crowd control, stage security, and emergency protocols to protect both performers and fans.
• The quick viral spread of the video underscores the power of social media to frame public perception within hours — balancing admiration for Davido with calls for better crowd‑management. What to Watch
• Whether security at future concerts — both for Davido and other major artistes — will be enhanced to prevent similar incidents.
• Fan reactions and concert‑goer behaviour online — will this incident lead to increased caution or embolden more fans to try daring stunts?
• Potential statements from Davido, his management, or the concert promoters regarding the event and what went wrong (or right) in their security setup. Citations:
