In the video shared across social media platforms, Morgan DMW was captured physically restraining and striking the man who dressed like the music star.
The reason for his actions was unknown; however, it could be deduced that the singer's crew member was clearing an exit path after the singer's livestream was concluded.
The lookalike stood outside the studio, apparently hoping to meet Davido during the singer's visit, but was met with an unexpected fate.
The video has since sparked outrage among Nigerians online, who questioned whether such force was necessary against an individual who was harmless and posed no threat.
