Pop star releases press statement on Tagbo’s death

A press statement released through the legal representatives of Davido has cleared the singer of a criminal involvement in the death of his friend, Tagbo Umeike.

It was alleged that the deceased who passed away on Tuesday, October 3, 2017, died in the vehicle of the pop star, but the new evidence confirms that to be false.

Davido, who was described to be embarrassed by various media reports linking him to the death of Umeike also released a CCTV footage that showed him as he departed from the "Shisha Room" where he last saw the deceased.

According to the press release, the Lagos State Police does not hold him responsible for the demise of Umeike who was reported to have been highly intoxicated before his passing.
