Tagbo’s Family Issues Official Statement on His Death as Davido’s CCTV Video Make Rounds Online

The last has not been heard of the
controversies surrounding the sudden
death of Tagbo Umeike, as his
celebrity friend and singer, David
Adeleke a.k.a Davido, earlier today,
released a CCTV footage and an
official statement, dissociating
himself from the death.

In a swift reaction, Tagbo’s family,
through his elder sister, Mrs Araka has
released an official statement
concerning his death, saying that
evidence suggests that there is more
to the death of Tagbo.

The family vowed to ensure that the
truth is brought to light.

They, however, urged the print and
online media to respect the grieving
family and not spread fabrications.

The statement reads: “We, the family
of Tagbo Ifeatuchukwu Umeike,
received the shocking news of the
passing of our brother on October 3 at
about 8:55p.m., several hours after
his demise.

”Since his passing, there have been
several stories making the rounds,
especially on social media, regarding
Tagbo’s personality and the
circumstances concerning his death.

”For a family that is trying to come to
terms with the passing of their loved
one, some disparaging and unfounded
comments and statements about his
personality and life, especially from
individuals who did not even know
Tagbo, have been received with a lot
of sadness.

“Tagbo looked out for everyone and
had a big heart; he was a friend to all
and loved by many. Evidence received
so far suggests that there is more to
his death and we, as a family, will
ensure that the truth regarding the
circumstances of his passing will be
brought to light.

”At this point, we will like to thank the
Lagos State Police Force, led by
Acting Police Commissioner, Imohimi
Edgal, for their diligence and
professionalism in carrying out their
investigation. We are pleased to say
that we now have a clearer picture of
the events leading up to Tagbo’s
untimely demise.

“As it is an ongoing investigation, we
are unable to disclose any further
information, but suffice to say the
truth will come out! We would like to
kindly ask that the print media and
blogs covering this story refrain from
printing hearsay and fabrications and
stick to the facts, while respecting
that the family is grieving.”
