As the CCTV video released by Davido disassociating himself from the death of his friend, Tagbo, continues to make the rounds online, the family of the singer's pal has released an official statement concerning his death.
The last has not been heard of the controversies surrounding the sudden death of Tagbo Umeike, as his celebrity friend and singer, David Adeleke a.k.a Davido, earlier today, released a CCTV footage and an official statement, dissociating himself from the death.
In a swift reaction, Tagbo's family, through his elder sister, Mrs Araka has released an official statement concerning his death, saying that evidence suggests that there is more to the death of Tagbo.
The family 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:
Quote
“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."
