Star musician, Davido, arrested
Popular musician, David Adekeke, alias Davido, has been
arrested by the Lagos State Police Command over the death of his friend, Tagbo
Umeke.
Davido was arrested by the Lion Building Police Division and
brought to the Commissioner of Police, Mr Imohimi Edgal, who, after
interviewing him, ordered that he be taken back to the division for further
questioning.
Tagbo was found dead in a Toyota Camry car parkedain front
of the Lagos Island General Hospital, which is believed to have been dumped by
Davido’s staff, Tunde and Agbaje.
The incident went viral on the social media two weeks ago
when Tagbo’s girlfriend, Caroline Danjuma, an actress, took to her Instagram
page accusing Davido of having a hand in his death. Since then, Davido has come
under heavy criticisms over his repeated denial of involvement in the
unfortunate incident.
Edgal, while addressing journalist yesterday at Ikeja, said
the command decided to invite all parties involved in the matter and requested
for the CCTV footage in the hospital, which indicated that Davido has a case to
answer.
According to the police boss, those invited for the meeting
included Davido and his family, Tagbo’s family, the Area A Commander, and the
Divisional Police Officer in charge of Lion Building Police Station.
He said: “At the meeting, Davido repeatedly denied his
involvement in the circumstances that led to the death of Tagbo Umeke.
The CCTV
camera at Shisha bar on Lagos Island showed the deceased in company with some
friends.
The CCTV camera also showed Tagbo standing and drinking from the
bottle. He was also seen molesting some of his friends. The camera also showed
a white Toyota Hilux belonging to Davido being driven away by Davido’s escort
driver, Tunde Yusuf and Agbaje Olaojo.
“Police investigation revealed that the deceased was driven
in a Toyota Camry with registration number, LSD 378 EL. The Chief Security
Officer of the Lagos Island Hospital identified the Hilux as one of the
vehicles that accompanied the vehicle the deceased was found in. Based on the
recent development, the DPO was asked to invite Davido for another round of
questioning. As we speak, he is being questioned by the DPO.
I will keep you
posted.
”
Edgal further stated that the autopsy report conducted on
the deceased revealed that he died of suffocation. He said the police were investigating a case
of sudden and unnatural death at the Ocean Parade, Banana, Ikoyi, Lagos.
The CP said on October 7, 2017, at about 10pm, a case was
reported by the Chief Security Officer of the area to the DPO, Ikoyi that two
persons, Ugbemiga Abiodun and Chime Amechina, were found dead inside a white
BMW salon car, with registration number KJA 631 AY, at under ground garage at
the estate.
“Police operatives raced to Lagos State University Teaching
Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, where bodies of the victims were taken for joint
medical examination. We are still waiting for the autopsy report,” the police commissioner said.
Further search of the vehicle, he said, revealed that
wrapped substances suspected to be hard drugs were recovered.
Liquid substance was also observed gushing out from the
deceased’s mouths and noses, he revealed.
