One of the tragic news that hit the net this week, was the death of Tagbo Umeike a friend of Nigerian popstar, Davido!

Tagbo was alleged to have died after drinking several shots of tequila during a night out with friends in Lagos.

However, Tagbo’s friend and actress, Caroline Danjuma, accused Davido and his team of dumping Tagbo’s body at a general hospital in Lagos Island and fled.

In the wake of several conflicting reports on the incident, Sunday Scoop spoke with Tagbo’s immediate elder sister, Equi Arakada, who is based in the United Kingdom.

She was badly shaken and it was clear to see that the sad incident was causing her great grief.

“I am a year older than he was, and October 3 was supposed to be his 35th birthday. They’re trying to portray him as a drunk or useless person, and that’s not true. There’s more to social media than what we see on the screen. He was not married and he didn’t have any kids. He was an engineer but he was trying to diversify into the music business. Not as a musician, but maybe as a record label owner,” she said.

Continuing, she said,

“He could upload some pictures of himself hanging out with his friends, but that does not mean that he doesn’t have anything else he does with his life. He was a very caring and outgoing person, and he had a great future ahead of him. I would definitely not wish what we, his loved ones, are going through right now on anybody.

Nobody deserves to die the way he did; abandoned at a time he needed help the most. Nobody deserves the nonchalance that the parties involved are displaying. It’s really unfair. Our dad is late, and my mum is taking this one day at a time.

Davido has not reached out to anyone in my family; not me, my mum, or Tagbo’s brother. I only knew about my brother’s friendship with Davido through social media; I had never met him. But they’ve been friends for some time now because I often see pictures of them together. I’m not really familiar with many of the artistes in Nigeria, but I know that on the night of the incident, Tagbo was with Davido and Dammy Krane.

Right now, we’re trying to gather as much information as possible to aid the investigation. All we need is justice; we don’t need any financial gain from this sad incident. We would dig to the root of the matter and find out if it was the negligence of anybody that led to this, or there was any sort of tampering involved. The autopsy would be conducted on Monday; any contrary news is false.”

However, Davido and his team have refused to make any comment on the matter. When we put a call through to Davido’s manager, Asa Asika, he said, “We don’t have any comment on this matter; there is nothing to say.”

Meanwhile, the police have also confirmed that the autopsy would be carried out on Monday.

Davido

Let wait for the police to confirm the autopsy which would be carry out this Monday

Abeg goan find somewhere sit down joor. E time don complete niyen

I understand they are in pain and just lost a loved one but i find it very awkward that they are blaming Davido a '24 years old' "boy" for a "35 years old" 'man's' death. Why will a 35 years old man be referred to as 'friend' to a 24 years old, in where i am from he wont even be able to call him by name......

Davido was not responsible for this guy's death

Hmmmm... They should leave Davido in peace biko, he might not even know anything concerning that boy's death. Make them allow him to mourn in peace abeg

Comment later

matters arising.

Davido? This guy could be wicked...

Wetin sef? Una no go let person hear word? Davido force drink enter him Belle?

Guy man wey no get ponmo for body, wey suppose dey dey house dey chop food, busy depriving himself of needed sleep, drinking Kai kai n smoking (whether primary or secondary smoking).

Please, leave Davido out of your family matter. Charge him to court if culpable.

Why do I have feeling that's an army against this davido, they always want to have his name in any negative news
It's not like he forced him to drink abi what's a 35 year old man doing with a 24 year old boy

That senseless arrogant money-miss-road, doesn't ever know the right thing to do. Your friend died in your car you didn't see the need to meet his family?

So 9ja day do Autopsy?

Dammy Krane and wahala sha....

Stupid Tagbo

I can see the Nigeria factor already playing out, nobody is talking about full investigation. However, you may choose to comment here pause awhile ask if Tagbo were to be your brother or family member? And considering the circumstances surrounding Tagbo's death. A reasonable person will always ask for justice to prevail irrespective of who's involve..

Never in our history has ANY govt official siphoned 26 BILLION USD through bogus oil contracts in less than one year until today.

In 1977 $2.8 billion went missing under Buhari. In 1997 $500 million went missing under him. Today $26 billion has gone missing under him.

So over the last 60 years approx. $30 BILLION USD has gone missing under Buhari's watch. He "hits it" every 20 years and that year always ends with 7.

The man stinks!

This tagbo guy killed himself jor.. As old as he is he should know how this life works. No be must say u go roll with superstars. But even though u should use ur sense
