Caroline Danjuma, who is in the middle of a controversy surrounding the death of her boyfriend identified as Tagbo Umeike, whom she alleged was dumped by Davido at the general hospital, has cleared the insinuations that the late Tagbo is the father of her daughter.
Recall that the actress had taken to her Instagram to call out music star, Davido on his nonchalant attitude that allegedly led to the death of Tagbo.
While the post had been trending with a lot of accusations and denials from both parties, Caroline in an interview opened up on her relationship with the deceased.
According to reports, Davido was seen in the company of Tagbo, Dammy Krane, and his crew at a night club, where they were all partying and celebrating the deceased’s birthday.
Caroline had further revealed that she contacted Davido for an explanation on how Tagbo died but was ignored by the singer.
She said;
“Firstly I would like to address this whole razzmatazz about David killing Tagbo and that I said so, I never said so. But yes, I did call out Davido to know the whereabouts of Tagbo but I never said he killed him. I never used that word ”Killed Tagbo’,”
“I was out at the Bank when Tagbo’s childhood friend (Kola) called me and said that he wanted to talk about tagbo, he was just asking random questions.
I told him I would call him back. I am aware that Tagbo was trying to do his Schengen visa so I called the guy helping him out to ask if she had heard from him but she said Tagbo was supposed to deliver some documents but had not.
I got home and called Kola back around 4 PM and this was when Kola revealed to me that Tagbo was dead. I thought it was a joke because Tagbo does not drive carelessly, he doesn’t fight, he is not one to be seen in a place where people are fighting. If he is angry, he walks away.
“I was confused, I decided to call the mum to find out if he went to Anambra to see her like he said he would collect some documents…. She said she had not seen Tagbo. I sent the sister a message that I heard Tagbo was dead and she should help me find out if it was true. The sister replied asking ‘how when and where?’”
Caroline to say that she decided to call her neighbour holidaying in Lebanon who was Tagbo’s friend who said: “there was a bet of 200k and that Tagbo drank about 50 shots of tequila”.
“I said that cannot be true. Tagbo cannot drink even a glass of Hennessy because he has a light brain like me. So a guy who cannot drink this much cannot finish 50 shots of Tequila. Tagbo does not need 200k to do that.
He comes from a very wealthy background so he does not need that kind of bet, he is not hungry for that. I was shattered to hear such news. I went into my office and sat down.
I tried to find out where Tagbo was and Kola said he had been trying his best to find out but that each time he calls, the people would drop the phone on him or tell him they would call back.
So for one hour and despite trying several times, we had not gotten any info to where Tagbo’s body was or what hospital he was taken to
Tagbo’s friend Chuks made some calls and found out that Tagbo was taken to Lagos island,” she added.
“I called the same guy when I heard tagbo had died and asked him to find out what happened and he said he was trying to but every time he called Davido’s team and mentioned Tagbo’s name they would drop the phone on him and this was what they had also done to anyone who calls and mentions his name.
Davido knew and his crew knew Tagbo was dead at 3 AM in the morning and they did not contact anyone. Davido’s P.A Lati knows where Tagbo stays but did not go to the house to inform anyone,” she said.
I contacted someone who remembers seeing davido and tagbo and DNA and remembers there was a fight. This person also told me there was a bet and said the same thing my neighbour said but said 30 shots and not 50.
According to what was said, Tagbo drank the tequila and got intoxicated and wanted to drive his car but Davido refused and said Tagbo should drive with him. That was what I heard and that they drove to G12 beach and got out leaving Tagbo in the car all locked up and that one of the crew members came back saw Tagbo gasping for air. This was the info from a supposed eye witness.
He was taken to the general hospital where he was confirmed dead and they left him there.
We went there with Nabila and Mary who can confirm what was said. We were told that he was dumped and those who brought him ran away.
The doctor told us that when the nurses were trying to fix the card, the two people that brought him ran away and their footage could not identify those who brought him and ran cos they hid their faces with caps.
They refused to tell us anything, the medical director told us that because they ran away it was now a police matter and that we should go to the police station.
I posted online asking Davido why they abandoned Tagbo on my way to the police station because I was so angry and needed answers.
I sent Davido personal messages but he didn’t reply until I called him out on the social media and he told me to take down the post and he would tell me what happened. I took down the post and told him to come to the police station but he never showed up. Tagbo’s family members came from far but Davido and his manager did not show up,” she said.
She said that Tagbo’s phone and shoes are missing, adding that someone went to the deceased Instagram page to delete videos he posted with Davido on the said day. She said the person eventually deleted the account.
“We quickly munched all the videos on SnapChat. Tagbo was with Dammy Krane, Davido and Asa Asika. Davido knew that Tagbo was dead but kept quiet. He told the Police later that he would have spoken out if I didn’t call him out on the social media. Can you imagine?
Tagbo meant everything to a lot of people. His widowed mum who is recovering from an ailment. I am pleading with anybody who has info on who drove Tagbo’s dead body to the hospital to come forward…
We want to know what happened and how Tagbo died. Davido, we are not calling you a killer, but we need to know what happened to Tagbo. You owe him this because he loved you like a brother. He took you like a brother. Do it for him and call out the people you assigned to drive him. Please,” Caroline said.
She also debunked rumours that the deceased was the father to her 3-year old daughter, adding that she met Tagbo in 2016
“I have woken up to see all sorts of allegations and it is really laughable because the whole idea is to divert the attention from the questions I am asking about what happened to Tagbo. I will address this once and for all. Number one, I met Tagbo when I was legally divorced and out of my ex’s house to start a new life. Yes, we were dating.
My daughter is three years old and I only met Tagbo last year, so it’s not possible that Tagbo is the father. The person who posted that info claims to have Tagbo’s phone and claims he went to DNA with Baba, who is Baba?
Let us leave sentiments aside, trying to blackmail me to keep quiet will not work or change anything. We need justice for Tagbo.
No one is accusing anyone of being a murderer but we need to know what happened and why everyone is quiet. My anger is that he was abandoned by those supposed to be his friends and brothers. Davido and Tagbo were very close and I am angry with Davido for keeping quiet.
Those who drink tequila should come out and confirm if 30 shots of tequila are strong enough to kill… Stop protecting whoever is guilty. Someone is dead. Please!” she said.
