The Police has said the Nigerian pop star, David Adeleke aka Davido has no hand in the death of his late friend, Tagbo Umeike.
It would be recalled that Davido was invited by the police following speculations that he had an involvement in the death of Tagbo.
The police had earlier stated that Davido knew about his friend’s death due to CCTV footage of the hospital which revealed that the deceased was brought to the hospital lifeless by Davido’s driver and friends on Davido’s directive. However, Davido refuted police statement.
Autopsy report had also revealed that Tagbo died from too much alcohol intake and suffocation.
Davido’s lawyer, Mr. Bobo F. Ajudua, said that Davido was released by the police and was acquitted of murder allegations levelled against him.
“We’ve been to Panti and my client has given a statement there too. It’s clear from all the investigation, evidence, and statements given so far that David was not at any point with the deceased after he left him alive at Shisha room and as such he’s been released to go about his business.”
“Of course if called on to give any more information he would gladly. But in truth, he only knew so much about the night and has reproduced this time and time again. They’ve also observed the consistency between his statements and those of all the others interviewed, as a result he’s been allowed to go,” he said.
