Why Condoms Were Distributed At My Ibadan Concert, Mayorkun Explains

DMW artiste, Mayorkun has debunked the rumour making the rounds that  ‘sexual assaults’ took place at the venue of his recent concert in Ibadan.

With a record of over 13,000 people in attendance at the concert at The Palms Mall, Ring Road, Ibadan, the event tagged “The Ibadan Concert” was no doubt a successful outing for the award winning artist.

The singer explained that the condoms found at his Ibadan Concert were only distributed to fans for a ‘safe sex awareness programme’.

As a way of trying to encourage safe sex among youths; the organizers with the support of relevant organisations, distributed packs of condoms freely for reproductive and family health awareness which according to the artiste; “is typical of events of this magnitude. Those condoms were seen littering the event ground afterwards,” he said.

Speaking on the turnout at the concert, Mayorkun said “I had thought I would see between 5,000 and 7,000 people at the event, but I was shocked to see almost 13,000 people, the support was massive”.

“I was ready to perform for two to three hours and I had also promised maximum security. So, as soon as I got news on how packed the mall was, I had to get more security. The entrance planned for me was busy; I had to beg the management of The Palms Mall to open the back gate for cars to come in”, he explained.
