Nigeria's Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has asked that the 'letter' supposedly written by the Police Service Commission (PSC); which stated that Acting Lagos state Police Commissioner Mr. Imohimi Edgal, has been "reverted to his former rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police", be ignored.
Speaking recently with Vanguard Newspaper, the Inspector General of Police, who is also PSC Chairman, stated that no such decision was taken during the last held plenary meeting, more so, that the PSC's Permanent Secretary has no such power to write such letters to the Police, the 'revert- letter' was therefore not authorised.
Acting C.P Imohimi Edgal is currently investigating the Tagbo, Olugbemiga Abiodun popularly known as DJ Olu, and Chime Amechi's death case.
DJ Olu and Chime, both close associates of David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, were found dead in a BMW believed to be owned by one of the deceased, parked in an underground garage of Block B, in the high-brow Banana Island estate, Ikoyi, Lagos, on Saturday, October 7, 2017. It was reported that drugs was found in the vehicle, but there is so far no official autopsy reports on actual cause(s) of death.
The remain of Olugbemiga Abiodun aka DJ Olu, was laid to rest at the Vault Garden, Ikoyi - Lagos on Thursday, october 12, 2017. Chime Amechi will be interned in his home town, Ifitedunu, Dunukofia local government, Anambra state, on Saturday, October 14, 2017.
The past couple of days has seen speculations, allegations, accusations, counter accusations and defence trailing the deaths of these young men.
According to news, Tagbo Umeike, a young man in his 30s, and an associate of Davido had gone clubbing with some friends and associates, Davido was reportedly partying with the group on Monday night, October 2nd, 2017. Tagbo's birthday was on Tuesday, October 3rd.
Autopsy and Police report released on Wednesday, October 11, 2017, revealed that sometime during the night, while the group partied, Tagbo died as a result of asphyxia (suffocation), as against the thought that the 40 shots of Tequila drink he gulped during a bet at Shisha Room bar in Lekki, Lagos, might have taken its toll on him.
CCTV footage from the Lagos Island General Hospital where Tagbo was reportedly found dead, shows a Toyota Hilux escort vehicle, driven by Davido's escort driver identified as Tunde Usutu.
Tunde Usutu, in the company of two other young men identified as Agbeje Olaoye and Idris Busari, associates of Davido, drove the deceased to the hospital. The men reportedly abandoned Tagbo at the hospital and drove off. The vehicle was later recovered from Davido's residence at #7, Awoshika street, Lekki Scheme 1, Lagos. Usutu reportedly told the Police that he drove the deceased to the hospital and left him there on Davido's instruction.
This development refutes Davido's earlier claim that he does not know how the deceased got to the hospital.
Davido's Lawyer, Norrison Quakers (SAN) released a statement and CCTV footage which provides to some extent, what transpired as the group was about leaving Shisha Room, on October 2nd night.
The Statement below:
The CCTV camera below:
Video footage credit: F78Tv
The footage shows Davido (spotting a white face cap and a black bag strapped around) and some of the guys, outside the Bar, about driving off, and trying to get an already drunk Tagbo (from his stagger) into a white vehicle, which appears like Davido's vehicle. It however appeared Tagbo did not want to get into the vehicle.
In the second footage, Tagbo still appeared not willing to get into the vehicle, he (Tagbo) was later led out of the gate by one of the guys with them....probably to another vehicle parked outside.
Davido alighted from the vehicle as Tagbo was being led out, spoke to someone...then got back into the vehicle.
The above appeared a typical scene of guys hanging out...drunk...stagger...messing around...etc.
However, my observation brought about questions:
From the footage, at a point, one of the guys shoved Tagbo, as if to force him into the vehicle, but Tagbo resisted, and staggered to meet some other guys.
- Was there an argument?
- If there was, what was it about?
- Who was the young man that led Tagbo out and where did he take him to?
- What happened after leaving Shisha Room?
This is no 'rocket science', the footage already provided clues to any meaningful investigation.
