We can all recall how the news of the death of Tagbo broke the Internet last year not because he was famous but because of the circumstances surrounding his death. Tagbo was reportedly last seen with Davido and his crew before his sudden death.

The news of Tagbo's death was announced by Nollywood actress, Caroline Danjuma who claimed to be a close friend to the deceased. She went on to call out Davido over his involvement in Tagbo's death.
