The last may not have been heard about the alleged culpability of popular music artist, David Adeleke aka Davido, over the death Tagbo Umeike following the report of Directorate of Public Prosecution, DPP.

This was disclosed by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Imohinmi Edgal who spoke on the status of the ongoing investigations on the matter.
The police boss said he had directed the matter to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, SCIID Panti for proper investigations.

He explained that the file of the outcome of the investigation was duplicated and sent to DPP for advice and they have sent their advice. Edgal said the DPP report advised that more investigations should be carried out on the matter to determine the involvement of the whole suspects on the matter which he said the police was still working on.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that CP Edgal ordered further investigations on Davido and his aides over the  circumstance that led to the death of  late Umeike. The police boss said the re-invitation of Davido had to do with fresh facts that he denied; that he did not know who took the deceased to the Island General Hospital and dumped him there.

Edgal said that Davido needed to explain why he denied knowing who took the deceased to the hospital, whereas he was the person that directed his driver and escort to take the deceased to the hospital and abandon him there.

The CCTV camera footage showed the vehicles that brought the deceased to the hospital and the police boss said that the same vehicle was traced to Davido’s house at Lekki Phase one.

The autopsy report carried out by the doctors showed that the late Tagbo died of suffocation.
The CCTV at the joint where they hung out together captured the deceased taking huge volume of alcohol and was with Davido and their friends.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that it was yet not certain when the police will conclude the investigations as police source indicated that it may take a longer period before a conclusive report can be released.
