According to the initial report made available by the Police through the Commissioner of Police Lagos State yesterday, David Adeleke aka Davido, the "rich man's kid musician" was found to have "lied" in some instance in his statement on the death of his friend, Tagbo Umeike.
The question that is on everybody's mouth and mind is that, why the need to LIE at all?
According to that same initial report on the probable cause of death, it is said to be "Asphyxia", which in lay man's term is Suffocation.
Could any have conspired to delibrately kill Tagbo? We totally and greatly doubt that. So it's a definite NO. So then what happened?
What we think could have happened was that, after having too much to take (40 shots or more of Tequila is not a joke), Tagbo might have become very drunk. Drunk here could mean either terribly or another way, so those around him, who were having fun might have just thought, please take him to the car to cool off till they were ready to go!
So he was taken to the car and now probably left there. How was he positioned when in the car? Because that's very important too! Was the car air-conditioned switched on? Was he just left to himself without any one caring? Most likely, because the thought would be that he is man enough and an adult at that!
So the following is our own premise of what could have happened.
Alcohol when it is too much, and is taken to an extent, can become like poison. Also depending on what had already being ingested or taken before, then the alcohol would irritate the bowels and then the person would want to puke/vomit. If such a person is wasn't well positioned in the process, in such a way and manner that if he vomits he can easily let out the vomit, it can become a problem! That same vomit can choke or suffocate him and kill him.
For a man that has become terribly tipsy and mad drunk, coordination would have become very minimal or even none existent. Also depending on what he had taken before, that act of vomiting could make something block his pipe and lead to choking or suffocation.
If the above was what happened, then we some little issues with all of those involved in the whole matter. Just because of fun, they were 'somewhat negligent'! That fun they wanted to have was probably more important than the health of one of them who was in a bad shape.
So after all the fun, they must have come back and found Tagbo dead. So in panic they decided to take his body to the hospital and dump him there out of fear. It was from there they complicated their own case!
If you are not liable for his death, why panic, why the need to fear and act foolishly?
If you were not liable for his death, (for Tagbo is an adult who wasn't forced to drink and should have been old enough to know his own limit), why the unnecessary conspiracy to make his death look suspicious, by stupidity?
Why the need to lie in your own statement? Why would you portray yourself as an unkind and wicked and uncaring person, when actually you are not like that at all?
So that lie alone, has now brought about an unnecessary "cloud of suspicion" that points at conspiracy, which should have been non-existent in the first place! So even if the police would exonerate you of any form of culpability, which is what is going to be the likely end of it all, you have made yourself look totally foolish in the "court of public opinion"!
What lessons have we learnt from all of this? To be very careful with what you engage yourself to do.
Also, your so called friend in the height and euphoria of fun, might not necessarily give a damn about you being if anything happens.
In the case of accidental and untimely death, you can just be dumped anywhere like a log of wood and that's it.
For some, fun is far more important than anything else. So whatever happens to you, you are "on your own" (OYO).
Be very careful!!!! Prevention they say is better than cure, cure here might actually mean DEATH!
Yeah I think that is exactly what happened
ReplyDeleteAloba, you've written all we need to write as comments.
ReplyDeleteWhy work with Caro's story and the police and not David's version? Nice scenario you painted but may not be entirely true.
