Police Reportedly Say Davido Not Yet Free And Investigations Over Tagbo Umeike's Death Still On-going
The claim by Davido was captured in messages posted via one of his social media handles on Thursday to offer thanks to everyone who prayed for him while saying he has forgiven every single person, media house or blog that pointed an accusing finger at him upon the demise of Tagbo. He wrote: “Any media house, blog or person that said false things about me or accused me of what I don’t know I sincerely forgive you… and God bless you. We move on! LET’S ALL BE BETTER! THANK YOU LORD.”
Widespread reports quoted Bobo. F. Ajudua, a member of the legal team defending Davido led by Norrison I. Quakers (SAN), that police have declared the singer free of guilt in the matter. Responding to media enquiries on the case, he reportedly said: “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 Davido was not at any point with the deceased after he left him alive at Shisha Room.
“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.” However, when contacted by Saturday Telegraph yesterday, Lagos PPRO, Olarinde Famous-Cole, contradicted the claim by the musician and his legal team.
“The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, has addressed that issue, that there is an ongoing investigation, that the case file has been duplicated and it will be transferred to the DPP (Director of Public Prosecution) for advice on what is the best way to go in handling the case.
“So, investigation is ongoing, we have carried out series of investigations as regards that case and the police angle is that we are still investigating and of course they (those in Davido’s camp) are entitled to their freedom of speech,” he submitted.
