Wema Bank, Nigeria’s most innovative bank and pioneer of Africa’s first fully digital bank, ALAT, has once again taken centre stage in grand style, collaborating with Africa’s biggest Afrobeats artiste, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, on the Nigeria leg of his 5ive Tour. The Tour, which hit its 4th city on November 9, 2025, has recorded over 80,000 attendees so far.

Davido kicked off the 5ive tour earlier in 2025, commemorating the release of his 5th studio album, 5ive, with a world tour that covered numerous cities across the globe. The 5ive tour, a massive success since its launch, took over global headlines on October 14, 2025, when Davido announced that he would be bringing the tour back home to Nigeria where it all started, collaborating with none other than his longtime financial partner and banking family, Wema Bank.

Unsurprisingly, Wema Bank rose to the occasion in grand style, dominating the Nigerian leg of the 5ive tour across 4 locations so far: Uyo, Yola, Enugu, and most recently, Ibadan. These 4 locations have covered all 4 regions of the country, demonstrating an intentional sense of diversity and inclusion. The Bank, in its usual standard of raising the bar, brought a new wave of glamour, sophistication and excitement that shook the industry, resulting in what has become the biggest studio tour in Africa, brought to you by Wema Bank.

From providing its customers with exclusive access to experience the tour as regular or VIP guests to giving out high-quality trendy Davido 5ive tour merch that every Nigerian couldn’t wait to rock with pride, Wema Bank took the nation by storm as major sponsor of the 5ive Tour. With commendation and kudos trooping in from Nigerians across the globe, Wema Bank has undoubtedly won the hearts of millions, cementing its reputation as the innovative youth-centric bank that remains in touch with the needs and lifestyles of its customers.

A dynamically synergic duo, Wema Bank and Davido have executed what is arguably the biggest finance-entertainment collaboration, totally redefining what it means for banking to seamlessly integrate with lifestyle as needs continue to evolve.

All anticipation now builds up to December 14, 2025, when Wema Bank will once again take the 5ive tour to Nigerians right here in Nigeria; this time in the capital city of Abuja. Anyone interested in getting a free ticket or getting access to the highly sought after Davido 5ive Tour merch is encouraged to follow @wemabank on Instagram, X and Facebook to stay tuned as the #Wema5iveAliveTour continues to unfold.

Dour Nigerians and six other individuals have been sentenced to a total of 55 years in prison by the Kingston Crown Court for their involvement in a violent phone-robbery syndicate that terrorised several stores across London.

The Nigerians identified as David Akintola, Ayomide Olaribiro, Olabiyi Obasa, and David Okewole were members of a ten-man gang that also included James Adodo, Robert Hills, Nelson Joel, Michael Babo, Mushtakim Miah, and Laville Bloise.

According to a statement released by the UK Metropolitan Police, the gang executed 13 robberies between September and November 2024, mainly targeting EE mobile phone stores. They were said to have used threats of violence to intimidate staff into granting access to secure stockrooms, where they carted away high-end mobile devices and accessories valued at approximately £240,000.

Investigators linked the suspects to the robberies through DNA evidence, call data, and vehicle tracking records. On November 19, 2024, police officers apprehended four members of the group during a robbery at an EE outlet in Kilburn. Subsequent searches of properties associated with the suspects led to the recovery of stolen goods and other incriminating materials.

All ten members of the syndicate were formally charged, and eight of them pleaded guilty to conspiracy to rob on January 30, 2025. The Kingston Crown Court delivered its final judgment on Friday, November 7, 2025, handing down various prison sentences that collectively totalled 55 years.
