Nigerian pop artist Davido has been invited again by the Lagos
State
command of the Nigerian police in connection with the death of his
friend Tagbo Umeike.
As we reported earlier, the autopsy that was done on the deceased revealed that he died of suffocation.
The Acting Lagos Police Commissioner, Imohimi Edgal, stated at a briefing that Davido has been reinvited for questioning.
According to Edgal, the information Davido gave them was different from what was found after their investigation.
Apart from the autopsy report revealing that Tagbo died of asphyxia
or suffocation, investigations also revealed that he was abandoned in
his car at the hospital by Davido’s driver and two of his friends:
Agbeje Olaoye and Idris Busari.
The Lagos police chief said a CCTV footage from the General Hospital
where Tagbo was dumped revealed that Davido’s escort Hilux vehicle
driver, Tunde Usutu, and his two friends took him to the hospital and
abandoned him there.
Davido, according to Edagal, had stated earlier, during a
pre-investigation meeting with the police, the deceased’s family,
friends and Caroline Danjuma, that he had left Shisha bar where he had
been drinking with the deceased for DNA nightclub in Victoria Island and
was only informed by mutual friends of his demise.
Before his demise, Tagbo was said to have consumed a huge amount of
alcohol. The bartender and CCTV footage confirmed that Tagbo had drunk
as much as 40 shots of Tequila and exhibited signs of drunkenness.
Two of Davido’s other friends, DJ Olu and Chime, were found dead in a
BMW Saloon car in an underground garage days after Tagbo’s demise. The
autopsy done on them to confirm the cause of death is yet to be
concluded.
