Pop Icon,
Davido has finally released the CCTV footage and official statement from his lawyers
over Tagbo’s death to counter accusations about his involvement.
The footage
which was released by Davido in a series of post on his Instagram page, showed
the night of the unfortunate incidence.
The deceased
in the video seem intoxicated as he was staggering and quarrelsome with others
that were around him. He was then seen being led towards another car while
Davido got into his SUV and was driven away.
Similarly, the
official statement that was signed by his lawyers, Norrison Quakers also attested to
Davido’s innocence in the incident that led to the young man’s death. The
statement stated that the reports making the rounds, suggesting otherwise were
false.
Read the
statement below,
The
statement reads in parts,
“For the
records, we wish to state that our client has not been found culpable for the
death of Mr Tagbo Umeike… Our client was also not involved in the untimely
death of the deceased, nor did he give any instructions to anyone to ‘dump’ the
corpse of Mr Tagbo Umeike anywhere. Further and as a matter of fact, we wish to
state that the deceased did not step a foot, even for a second in any of our
clients vehicles on the evening of this sad events.”
“Our client
maintains that he has not in any way lied about what he knows about the
unfortunate incident, neither has his statement to the police been incoherent
as unfortunately been presented in the media.”
“It is
disheartening that the image of our client is being tarnished by mischief
makers whose jaundiced publications and statements have had a negative impact
on our clients emotional well-being, family and fan base…..”
“Our client
in honour of the memory of his departed friends has suspended his next few
shows and musical engagements.”
However, the
autopsy to determine the real cause of the young man’s death is not yet out
fully, although reports are that the preliminary result shows that the deceased
died of asphyxia which in normal parlance means suffocation.
Reports,
also has it that a toxicology is being conducted at the moment to detect
further he was the deceased was poisoned at any time leading to his death.
