The Lagos State Police Command says the ace hip hop artiste, David Adeleke, aka Davido, is inconsistent in his statement on the death of his friend, Umueke Tagbo.
The command subsequently invited him again on Wednesday, although he was not allowed to talk to journalists.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Davido’s driver – Tunde Yusuf, and two friends of the artiste, Agbaje Olaoye and Idris Busari – who dumped Tagbo’s corpse on the premises of the Lagos Island General Hospital and fled had been arrested.
This is just as the autopsy carried out on the deceased revealed that he died of asphyxia (suffocation).
The state Acting Commissioner of Police, Edgar Imohimi, disclosed the development on Wednesday at the command’s headquarters in Ikeja.
Imohimi, added that the reports of the autopsies of two other Davido’s deceased friends – Olugbenga Abiodun, aka DJ Olu; and Chime Amaechina – were still being awaited.
Our correspondent had reported that Tagbo died at Shisha Bar in Lekki after allegedly taking 10 shots of Tequila. He died on Tuesday, October 3, 2017, which was his birthday.
Tagbo’s girlfriend, Caroline Danjuma, had discarded insinuations that he died of drunkenness and alleged that Davido ran away after dumping his corpse at the general hospital. But Davido denied the allegation.
