The United States Embassy in Lagos has reportedly prohibited the parents-in-law of popular Afrobeats star Davido from entering the country ahead of their daughter Chioma’s white wedding to the singer.
According to entertainment journalist Stella Dimokokorkus, the ban arose because Chioma’s parents overstayed their visa in the United States after traveling back with her following their much-publicised traditional wedding in Lagos.
The blogger revealed that their visas were revoked as soon as they returned to the country. Chioma’s father was expected to walk her down the aisle at the wedding.
The post reads: “According to what happened, After Chioma and Davido did their traditional wedding, in 2024, Chioma returned with her Parents and sister to the US and her parents stayed for over a year before travelling back to Nigeria (Which was a big mistake)
“As soon as they returned to Nigeria, their visas were revoked and a ban placed on them because they did not keep to the terms of the 5 year visas handed them….
“According to explanations given, Chioma’s parents were not supposed to stay so long in the US without returning to Nigeria.
”It is a pity now because they cannot attend their daughters wedding in Florida and there is really no trusted person to take care of the twins, the way they did…The terms of the visa was explained to them when they got it but i guess they may have forgotten”
“I hope they get to watch the wedding on live cam on Saturday.”
