The Nigeria Police has cleared pop star, David Adeleke otherwise known as Davido, of any involvement in the death of one of his friends, Tagbo Umeike. Autopsy report revealed that Umeike died from suffocation after he had taken more than the recommended quantity of tequila at his birthday party at Shisha Lounge in Lekki, Lagos.
Following his callout by late Tagbo’s ex-girlfriend, Caroline Danjuma, for keeping mum about what transpired on the said night, Davido was invited by the police to ascertain his involvement in Tagbo’s death. Davido’s legal counsel, Mr. Bobo F. Ajudua, said that Davido was released by the police and has been absolved of the murder allegations against him, and is free to go about his business as he pleases.
“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 do so. 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.
Following his exoneration, Davido who was at the center of many allegations says he has forgiven everyone and anyone that had something negative to say about him during his trying period.
