The untimely death of a young man , Tagbo Umeike , early in the week has continued to generate ripples through the Internet and the physical world .
Tagbo, who was popstar, Davido’s friend , is alleged to have died after drinking several shots of tequila during a night out with friends in Lagos . However , Tagbo’ s friend and actress , Caroline Hutchings, accused Davido and his team of dumping Tagbo’s body at a general hospital in Lagos Island and fled . In the wake of several conflicting reports on the incident , Sunday Scoop spoke exclusively with Tagbo ’s immediate elder sister , Equi Arakada , who is based in the United Kingdom . She was badly shaken and it was clear to see that the sad incident was causing her great grief. “I am a year older than he was , and October 3 was supposed to be his 35 th birthday . They ’re trying to portray him as a drunk or useless person, and that’ s not true. There ’s more to social media than what we see on the screen. He was not married and he didn ’t have any kids . He was an engineer but he was trying to diversify into the music business. Not as a musician , but maybe as a record label owner,” she said .
Continuing , she said , “He could upload some pictures of himself hanging out with his friends, but that does not mean that he doesn ’t have anything else he does with his life . He was a very caring and outgoing person, and he had a great future ahead of him. I would definitely not wish what we , his loved ones, are going through right now on anybody . Nobody deserves to die the way he did ; abandoned at a time he needed help the most . Nobody deserves the nonchalance that the parties involved are displaying . It’s really unfair . Our dad is late, and my mum is taking this one day at a time . Davido has not reached out to anyone in my family; not me , my mum , or Tagbo’s brother. I only knew about my brother ’s friendship with Davido through social media ; I had never met him . But they’ ve been friends for some time now because I often see pictures of them together . I’ m not really familiar with many of the artistes in Nigeria , but I know that on the night of the incident , Tagbo was with Davido and Dammy Krane . Right now, we ’re trying to gather as much information as possible to aid the investigation . All we need is justice ; we don ’t need any financial gain from this sad incident . We would dig to the root of the matter and find out if it was the negligence of anybody that led to this , or there was any sort of tampering involved . The autopsy would be conducted on Monday ; any contrary news is false .”
However , Davido and his team have refused to make any comment on the matter . When Sunday Scoop put a call through to Davido ’s manager , Asa Asika, he said , “We don ’t have any comment on this matter ; there is nothing to say .”
Meanwhile , the police have also confirmed that the autopsy would be carried out on Monday . ""
