The family of Davido’s friend,
Tagbo Umeike, through his elder sister Mrs Araka has released an official
statement concerning his death.
According to them, evidence
suggests that there is more to the death of Tagbo.
They 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.”
