“…Tagbo was with Dammy Krane, Davido and Asha Asika. Davido knew that Tagbo was dead but kept quiet. He told the Police later that he would have spoken out if I didnt call him out on the social media..can you imagine.”
The death of Tagbo Umeike, friend to Davido and coincidentally happens to be with Davido hours before his death, has stared up a lot of surprise and social media revelations. There was a fake Autopsy report showing the deceased died of high level of alcohol consumption.
Earlier today, Police Commissioner Imohimi Edgal announced that Davido has been re-invited for questioning as the autopsy report reveals that Tagbo died of suffocation and that the deceased was dumped in a car with rolled up glass outside Lagos Island Hospital as CCTV maned Davido and some guys running after dumping Tagbo.
Davido’s earlier statement to the Police seem contrary to the outcome of the investigation, leading to his recent arrest. The Nigerian musician seems to have displayed his violence on people over time, video coverage of him beating up a fan in London, his fight on social media with fans and co-celebrities and public declaration of smoking marijuana makes one doubt his non-involvement in Tagbo’s death.

Some facts were gathered from Caroline Danjuma, an actress and lover of the deceased in her statement and call out to Davido.
Caroline in an intervies with Stella DimokoKorkus: “I decided to call my neighbour who was also Tagbos friend and my neighbour who was holidaying in Lebanon called me back and said that there was a bet of 200k and that Tagbo drank about 50 shots of tequila and I said that cannot be true.
Tagbo cannot drink even a glass of hennessey because he has a light brain like me . So a guy who cannot drink this much cannot finish 50 shots of tequila..Tagbo does not need 200k to do that. He comes from a very wealthy background so he does not need that kind of bet, he is not hungry for that.
”I was shattered to hear such a news, I went into my office and sat down. I tried to find out where Tagbo was and Kola said he had tried his best to find out but that each time he calls the people would drop the phone on him or tell him they would call back.
”So for one hour and despite trying severally, we had not gotten any info to where Tagbos body was or what hospital he was taken to… Tagbos friend chucks made some calls and found out that Tagbo was taken to Lagos island.
”Meanwhile someone who rented my bar told me he was with Davido at Shisha bar on Monday and then I asked him randomly ”oh then you must know Tagbo” cos Davido and Tagbo are close friends and the only reason Tagbo would be there is if Davido was there…that is on that birthday eve. The guy confirmed he met Tagbo and that was when he knew they were birthday mate and he also said they had fun and went from there to DNA to party.. This was all before I heard Tagbo had died…so my impression then was oh Tagbo was having fun and that was why he hadn’t gotten back to me.. I called the same guy when I heard tagbo had died and asked him to find out what happened and he said he was trying to but every time he called Davido’s team and mentioned Tagbos name they would drop the phone on him and this was what they had also done to anyone who calls and mentions his name.
”Davido knew and his crew knew Tagbo was dead at as 3a.m in the morning and they did not contact anyone, Davido’s PA Lati knows where Tagbo stays but did not go to the house to inform anyone. After we heard that Tagbos body was in Lagos island. Davido’s crew refused to give any info and this was about past 7pm. I contacted someone who remembers seeing Davido and Tagbo and DNA and remembers there was a fight. This person also told me there was a bet and said the same thing my neighbour said but said 30 shots and not 50.
”According to what was said, Tagbo drank the tequila and got intoxicated and wanted to drive his car but Davido refused and said Tagbo should drive with him..that was what i heard and that they drove to G12 beach and got out leaving Tagbo in the car all locked up and that one of the crew members came back, saw Tagbo gasping for air…this was the info they spread out there from a supposed eye witness. We went there with Nabila and Mary who can confirm what was said…We were told that he was dumped and those who brought him ran away. The doctor told us that when the nurses were trying to fix the card,the two people that brought him ran away and their footage could not identify those who brought him and ran cos they hid their faces with caps.
”They refused to tell us anything. The medical director told us that because they ran away it was now a police matter and that we should go to the police station. I posted online asking Davido why they abandoned Tagbo on my way to the police station because i was so angry and needed answers. I sent Davido personal messages but he didn’t reply until I called him out on the social media and he told me to take down the post and he would tell me what happened. I took down the post and told him to come to the police station but he never showed up.
”Tagbos family members came from far but Davido and his manager did not show up. Tagbos’ phone and shoes are missing and someone went on Tagbos’ instagram and deleted all the videos he posted of being with Davido on that day and eventually deleted the account. We quickly munched all the videos on snap chat…Tagbo was with Dammy Krane, Davido and Asha Asika. Davido knew that Tagbo was dead but kept quiet. He told the Police later that he would have spoken out if I didnt call him out on the social media..can you imagine.
”Tagbo meant everything to a lot of people…His widowed mum who is recovering from an ailment ..I am pleading with anybody who has info on who drove Tagbos’ dead body to the hospital to come forward… We want to know what happened and how Tagbo died.
”Davido we are not calling you a killer but we need to know hat happened to Tagbo. You owe him this because he loved you like a brother, he took you like a brother, do it for him and call out the people you assigned to drive him…Please,” she told Stella DimokoKorkus.
On Tagbo being her baby daddy: “I have woken up to see all sorts of allegations and it is really laughable because the whole idea is to divert the attention from the questions I am asking about what happened to Tagbo. I will address this once and for all. Number one, I met Tagbo when I was legally divorced and out of My ex’ house to start a new life……. Yes we were dating. My daughter is three years old and I only met Tagbo last year, so it’s not possible that Tagbo is the father of Elizabeth. Let us leave sentiments aside, trying to blackmail me to keep quiet will not work or change anything. We need justice for Tagbo. No one is accusing anyone of being a murderer but we need to know what happened and why everyone is quiet…
”My anger is that he was abandoned by those supposed to be his friends and brothers. Davido and Tagbo were very close and I am angry with Davido for keeping quiet. Those who drink Tequila should come out and confirm if 30 shots of Tequila is strong enough to kill.. Stop protecting whoever is guilty, someone is dead, please!”
Based on the Police investigation and Caroline’s claims, there seem to be a pattern and Davido happens to fall in the middle of it all. For the deceased to be with Davido on the same night of his death, It is highly unlikely for Davido not to know events or what transpired with Tagbo’s death. We hope the police can get to the bottom of this and not a case that will be swept under the rug. Because it seems the police feast with him often
