Ogun State governor, Ibikunle Amosun’s alleged infidelity with a certain female corp member who delivered a set of twins for him is yet to meet its end but has had a reaction from the Nigerian politician.
The governor on Friday threatened to fish out the ones purveying rumours and falsehoods against him, and have them sent to jail –
he made this known while speaking at the June 12 Cultural Centre in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, during a Town Hall meeting of stakeholders for the 2018 Budget.
According to The Nation, Amosun accused some unnamed politicians, whom he said, are aspiring to govern Ogun State in 2019, of being responsible for the spate of falsehood churned out against him and his administration.
He said has been married to his wife, Mrs Olufunso Amosun, in the last 26 years and had never kept a girl friend, let alone having one that delivered twins for him, adding that the rumoured twins issue also got to the notice of his wife.
He noted that task of keeping one wife is even challenging today in Nigeria and had no plans whatsoever to double such challenges with additional baggage.
He noted that those purveyors of falsehood could beat James Hadley Chase to it in “fiction concoction” in bids to malign him.
A magical mini-wedding ceremony was held in Flint, Texas, where the little bride and groom seen in the photos said “I do”.
Their moms, both photographers, arranged a pint-size photo shoot for the kids who “love hanging out together.”
In an interview with ABC News in which she talked about the newlyweds, Sullivan, 5 and Ella, 3, pretending to celebrate their big day, Ella’s mom, Breana Marie of Breana Marie Photography said;
“We told them they were getting married and found a little baby-sized ring box. I told her she got to dress like a princess for her wedding.
“I braided her hair and then they saw each other and they said, ‘We’re getting married today!’ They did pretty much everything themselves, then they’d look at each other and they would giggle.”
When asked her favourite part in the special photo shoot, Breana said it was when Sullivan asked, “Can I propose to her?’” she recalled. “Ella started giggling so hard. He put it on her pointer finger.”
“They were excited to get married because both of their moms work in the wedding industry, which made it exciting for us to incorporate them into our world,” she said.
“I would die of happiness if they got married in the future,” Breanna said with a laugh.
“They would run from one set to another set holding hands the whole time,” said the proud mom. “They even kissed once or twice and it was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
Nollywood actress, Uche Iwuanyanwu, who has for a while now, been off the movie radar to take care of her family recently sat down for a chat with Vanguard.
In the chat, the beauty talked about sex, her career and what being a mother of two looks like.
See excerpts from her interview;
You haven’t been acting lately; what happened?
You are right. I have been off for more than two years because I needed to focus on making a family. If I remember correctly, my last film was ‘Second Honeymoon’ in October of 2015. Shooting that film was particularly exciting for me because I was pregnant and no one on the set knew it. I remember how I was stylishly concealing my bump during the movie shoot. And at the same time I had to give in my best despite all the hormonal challenges that come with being pregnant. I remember I was six months pregnant at the time and no one knew it. It was my first pregnancy, so, it wasn’t obvious. I have since had two boys and now ready for the camera again. I had both kids in the United States of America.
Why did you feel the need to conceal your pregnancy from everyone?
From the moment my husband and I were informed about it, we decided to keep it secret. I felt like the best way to stay pregnant and safe in my kind of field was to conceal it. Like keep everything on the low till the bundle of joy arrives. I can’t really go into details; I just wanted it that way; you know? Keeping personal business personal.
So, what have you been doing in those last two years apart from raising a family?
I have been very busy with the fashion line I just launched. When I took a break from acting I went into fashion. I didn’t just sit at home; I opened a boutique, a fabric and a fashion store with other things. Right now, I am making a comeback to the industry because Nollywood is where my heart is. Is it a trend now in Nollywood to have your kids abroad? I don’t know of any trend of actresses wanting to have their babies abroad, but for us, we thought we could afford it and we went for it. Besides, I wanted to feel safe and had good medical care.
What is the difference between Uche the single girl and Uche the married woman?
The truth is that, there’s no palpable difference, I am still old me. The only difference is just motherhood. Seriously, being a mother changes your reasoning, your attitude to life and makes you more caring. I have come to learn to love unconditionally, tolerant and accommodating. I think of myself last now. It sounds very funny but so true. You have taken up some raunchy roles in the past, would you still take them up now? I think I can still interpret my roles perfectly without showing too much of my body. But if my script demands I show some skin, why not? It is acting; it has nothing to do with my private person. My husband understands my job and I don’t think he would have any problem with that. Do you really think he would be happy seeing his private property on public display? Of course, I am not going to go butt naked. Never, I never did that as a single girl, why would I start now as a married woman? Seeing me nude will definitely piss him off. I can’t do that. Kisses and hugs can go, but no nudity please. My husband is not your average Nigerian man, he endorses what I do on set and accept them as doing my job.
What is your own story concerning sexual harassment in the industry?
They won’t ask me because I won’t answer. They may ask indirectly but never directly because I don’t think anyone can openly ask to make love to me for a script because I know my onions. This is my job and I know it, I don’t have to beg or open my legs for anyone to get a job. If you try it with me, I will just walk out on you.
What do you think is the solution to the problem of sexual harassment in the industry?
Desperation is the first thing that brings about sexual harassment. Once a director or a producers smells it, they begin to offer conditions. Even when you are good at what you do, once they sense desperation about you, the game may change. The girls don’t need to be desperate when they are good. Why no one has ever harassed me or openly asked is because I have never been desperate. I don’t need to be because I know my craft. Another thing is that some girls actually present themselves to be harassed because they are so desperate they would do anything for the job. Some actually ask for it and dress for the occasion. My candid advice is, don’t ever get desperate and draw a line in your communication with these people. Most importantly, you are addressed the way you are dressed. Most producers see themselves as demigods because we have given them the power to feel so. Yes, we need them to showcase our craft and they need us too to produce their films. If you are good you don’t need to worship anybody to be successful in the industry.
What will you do if your husband cheats on you?
I don’t want to think of that but the truth is, I will not leave my house for some other woman to occupy. So long I have taken the vow of ‘better for worse’, for richer or for poorer, it means I will have to live with whatever situation I find myself. For as long as my husband still wants me I will not leave him unless he’s doing it for another reason.
Fashion is becoming more and more of nudity, where do you belong in this?
People see fashion in different ways. Some like to show off their body slightly while some like to show plenty of it and there are some leaning towards going almost naked. It is just an expression of inner self and whatever gives you joy is okay with me. I have done a movie where I was semi nude before I got married but I can’t do that again. To me, fashion is what makes you feel good.
Is it wrong to use pornography to spice up your sex life?
For me, it is wrong. For some people it may be okay. I don’t need pornography to spice up my sex life because my imagination is enough for me. Pornography may have other adverse effects like driving you to see what you don’t want to see and affect your imagination.

The Nigerian Police has disclosed that a man who yesterday jumped into the Lagos lagoon had last spoken to a Redeemed church pastor before his unfortunate suicide.
A family member of the man that jumped into a lagoon in Lekki Lagos revealed that the man left his Ondo State residence three days ago to attend a church programme at the Redemption Camp.
The man identified as one Adekunle Oluseyi was gathered to have taken taken off his clothes, phone, wristwatch, wallet, band and shoes before jumping into the water around 9:58am.
It was also gathered that before jumping into the lagoon, he was sighted by a pedestrian on the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge, who alerted officials of the Lekki Concession Company Limited (LCCI).
Following the information, the LCCI officials checked their Close Circuit Television (CCTV) footage and realised it was true, before alerting emergency workers.
According to sources, Oluseyi’s wallet contained two Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cards and there was no cash inside.
From his telephone record, The Nation gathered that the last person he spoke to was a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
It was however unclear what took him to Lekki, giving the distance from the Redemption Camp to the bridge. Efforts to establish from the family if he suffered depression or was being hunted failed as the man declined further comments.
As of 6:30pm on Friday, officials of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) and the Lagos Waterways Authority (LASWA) were yet to find Oluseyi.
In an interview at the scene with General Manager LASEMA, Adesina Tiamiyu said search and rescue was ongoing, adding that all he could say at the moment was that the man was missing.
He said:
“We cannot say whether he is dead or alive. All we can say right now is that he is missing. It is confirmed that the man jumped into the lagoon. LASWA, LASEMA and Marine Police have been searching for him since we got the distress call from LCCI.
“From the CCTV footage, he suddenly pulled off his clothes and shoe. He looked to be sure there was no one around him and and jumped into the lagoon.
“We are making efforts to find him alive or recover the body. His family has been contacted and all items found on him have been handed over to the police.”

Please guys, trust no girl wholeheartedly oo. Trust any girl at your own peril, if you fail to heed my warning.
A girl I have been keeping for almost 2 years – with the hope of marrying her once I pass out from here in NDA – just disappointed me, thereby shattering me to pieces. Right now, am in pains.
I was given 3 days pass to enable me attend an important event at home. Before the permission, my supposed babe have been disturbing on how badly she needed to be sexed, and how distance has been a barrier to that effect. I kept telling her to hold her chill, that am gonna be back soon. Although I had heard annoying stuffs about my babe – now an Ex, on how she was frolicking with different guys in my absence, but I was not deterred; simply because, I didn’t believe in hearsays.
Yesterday, she called and sent me sweet text messages as she normally do. I asked her to come over to my house around 4PM which she reluctantly obliged. But the way she sounded over the phone made it clear that she never wished to see me any time soon, maybe due to her schedules with other stuffs.
However, I pondered how my babe who has been disturbing and informing me on how ‘conjirized’ she is suddenly feel not too excited coming to see me dispite being aware that I came home on Tuesday(17th) night.
Time ticked to 4pm yesterday, I didn’t see her. I exercised patience till 5pm before I gave her call, but she didn’t pick. I called for the second time but no picking again. I decided to hold dowm my anger and not to call her again for the day. Around 15mins to 6pm, she called back saying that her phone was on silent. I ask why, and she told me she would explain when she reached my home that she was running short of airtime.
Finally, she came and apologized after explanation of what led to her phone being on silent. I asked her never to worry that am not holding anything against her, that she should be free.
However, situation changed the moment I tried making love with her as she undressed. Down her private part, I perceived the ‘SCENT of CONDOM’, and that was it. I enquired why she smells of condom there, but she couldn’t give me coherent and articulate answer.
Being furious, I slapped and pushed her out of my compound.
Today in the afternoon, I sent her final warning to stay clear from me or I will shoot her skull to pieces.
Finally, guys be weary of whom you date. Most ladies out there are evil.

So, it looks like Davido might just be stalking his rival, Wizkid on Social Media, and the below screenshot is a proof.
Fans of Wizkid, yesterday caught Davido like and perhaps watched a video of Wizkid in Fela’s shrine. The video was shared yesterday by an Instagram page, @Wizkidnews, dedicated to dishing out daily news about the Starboy singer.
So, this begs for the question: Is Davido subtly asking for a peace deal to end all of this bitterness and forge ahead?
On the 7th of October, we brought you reports of a Beautiful bride, a 300 level Economics student of Benue State University, Makurdi, who was spotted writing an exam in her wedding gown.
The bride, Identified as Dooshima Aondaver Moses, created a scene as she sneaked out of her wedding to take an examination in her wedding gown. She speaks with JOHN CHARLES of PUNCH on why she decided to abandon her husband and other guests for the examination hall. Excerpts:
When did you start planning for your wedding?
The whole thing started in 2016. That was when both of us, my husband and I decided to settle down as husband and wife. As a graduate of the same department, my husband understands everything very well, so we were working with the academic calendar. The wedding was supposed to come up in the first two weeks of the second semester of 300 level when there would not be much academic activities.
Unfortunately, the university had an internal crisis which led to the closing down of the university for three months and when we resumed, we thought that the wedding would still hold after the examination but shortly after the local strike was called off then came the national ASUU strike. We still thought that the strike would drag until after our wedding but lo and behold, the strike was suspended, all these changed the academic calendar.
But why didn’t you shift the wedding date?
There was no way we could have called off the wedding because all arrangement had gone far and families and friends from far and near had been informed. So it became extremely difficult to cancel it as many people from Lagos, Abuja and other places had been informed of the October 7 date. So calling off the wedding would have disrupted other programmes. At the time the national strike was called off, the time table for the exam was released.
At the time the time table for your exams was released, what efforts did you make to convince your department to give concession to you?
The time table was released immediately the national strike was called off. Although I informed the department but they told me there was nothing they could do. They said since the time table was already out, there was no time for me to lodge any official complaint. They said if that had happened before it came out, the department might have considered that. Again, the problem is that I was so busy making arrangement for my wedding. It was the same week that we did the traditional wedding, court marriage and church wedding. I decided to go ahead with the marriage and at the same time prepare for my examination.

What was the course you did that day with your wedding gown on?
International Economics and I did it well to the best of my knowledge.
How did you cope preparing for your wedding and your examination at the same time?
Actually, it was not easy for me. I tried to strike a balance by running around and at the same time reading for the examination, it was not easy at all but one thing that kept me going was the fact that I had made up my mind not to carry over any course because of my marriage. So, that decision was my soothing balm.
At what point did you leave the wedding venue for the examination hall?
We had concluded the church ceremony because the marriage was held at Good News Chapel, Benue State University. We were at the reception and shortly after we entered the venue, I had to excuse myself and the train and quietly sneak out, pretending to go to ease myself. Although a few of the bridal train are my course mates, so as I sneaked out, so also my course mates who were in the bridal train. We all rushed down to take the exam.
What vehicle brought you to the exam hall?
It was the same vehicle that I used for the wedding that brought me. The point is that my husband, close family and friends were aware of the plan; so right from the church service, we had to rush the programme, the pastor that officiated our marriage, Pastor Jude, was also aware of the arrangement, he tried to minimise the service until we got to the reception. A few of the officials at the reception were aware of the arrangement.
For instance, the chairman of the reception while addressing the crowd, noted that everything had to be done moderately because the couple needed to meet up with other pressing matters. He did not mention it particularly.
As the reception was in progress, my husband and I were watching ourselves and checking time intermittently so as not to be late to the exam hall because Economics department is very strict with examination guidelines. So knowing this, I was very conscious of time.
You know that many of my course mates were also at the reception, so all of us were cautious of time; in fact, many left the reception before me.
But it is assumed that weddings should be savoured to the fullest without any distraction; didn’t you see it that way?
Well, I see marriage as a lifelong enjoyment, so I did not want to use one to jeopardise the other. It is true it was the day of celebration and many people were at the reception to celebrate me, but I had another important thing which was my examination.
Your paper was fixed for what time?
It was scheduled for 3pm to 6pm that Saturday, it was a three-unit course.
At the time you left the reception, what was the reaction of people and did your husband also follow you?
Well, few of my relations as I earlier said were aware of it, but I learnt there was tension when other guests did not see the bride again, according to what they told me. But gradually, the crowd thinned out; so there was no problem at all but my husband remained behind at the time I left together with a few of the bridal train who are my course mates.
Was there distraction at the time you entered the examination hall?
Since all of them were aware and most of them attended the wedding, there was no distraction at the time I entered the examination hall.
You were not afraid that anything could have happened as you left your husband at the reception?
Nothing could have happened because it was our plan not to rob Paul to pay Peter. A pastor named Isaac was the one who drove the car that day; four of my train were in the same car that brought me, so all of us walked into the examination hall including the pastor.
Was there no time for you to change your wedding gown to normal dress at the time you came to the campus?
Actually, when I came in, I tried to manage the time. Ordinarily, the department has a dress code while coming to class but having eaten into the time, there was no time for me to go and change my dress, after all they were all aware of the wedding ceremony. I am sure that was the privilege they gave me to take the exam.
Since you said that you were in the examination hall throughout the duration, it means you could not go back to the reception?
My plan initially was that I would do the paper and rush back to the reception. Unfortunately, by the time I finished, the whole thing had ended. When I called my husband, he said he was already in the hotel sleeping.

Now that the day had come and gone with the drama created by your action, how will you describe the day?
October 7, 2017 will remain evergreen in my life, a blessed day because it is every woman’s dream to get married. I can not forget the day because the wedding coincided with my examination which I was able to take.
Your examination is still on. As a new couple, you ought to be in honeymoon now.
(Cuts in) To me, I see every day in marriage to be honeymoon, not just to set a few days off for honeymoon. I think what honeymoon means is for your spouse to pet you, kiss you, hug you, take you out and all that but to me, life is in stages. So whatever you have to do, it is better for one to do it well. So for me, honeymoon is a lifetime experience.
Do you have advice for those planning similar thing in future?
My advice to young ladies is to be determined because the way to success is not easy. One needs determination, discipline and focus, because for me, forgoing reception for examination is discipline. I was determined not to fail as any other person could have said there is no big deal, I can carry over the course, but for me, I didn’t want to carry over the course because I have no reason to. Despite the fact that it was a celebration day, I needed to do what was the most priority on my list which was my examination. We should not take things for granted, when it is time to do something, it is better to do it.
Many weeks ago, a Nigerian lady, Onyeka Ndukire went viral after she shared pictures of her bare face, and claimed she’s never touched her eyebrow before.
“I have never used an eyebrow pencil all my life, and I think ladies should learn to appreciate their Natural God given eyebrows”, Onyeka wrote on her Instagram page.
Now, Onyeka, in a bid to go viral again, has taken to that same social media, that blew her, to share her thoughts about Heaven and Hell, something she tagged as a myth.
Onyeka says, none of them exists, and people should just do good for the sake of it and for being the right thing.
She wrote; “I think people should do Good because it’s very appropraite, not because there’s a hell or a heaven waiting for us somewhere. Cos sincerely, truthfully, candidly, there’s none of those”
A Twitter User, @MermaidGrace is currently writhing in pains after she drove for 4 hours, to surprise her boyfriend in another state, only for her to get to his home and find him passed out, ‘high on drugs’ with another “naked” lady beside him.
“Incase anyone is wondering why Dan & I broke up! Ahhhhh nothing like driving 4hrs to surprise your boyfriend of 2yrs & walking in to this!” Grace wrote on Twitter, while sharing a pic of her boyfriend and the said lady on his bed.
You have to give it up for grace.. She covered (censored) the face of the Girl her boyfriend was with!
Her tweet has garned over 27,000 retweets and 137,000 likes as at the time of reporting this!
Folks have come to her rescue, with many offering her drinks, a night out, etc.. Some even promised to take care of her bail just incase her tweet turns into a case.. Hopefully, it doesn’t.
Tagbo Umeike’s brother has revealed that pop star, Davido was absent at the burial ceremony of his late friend, which held in Anambra State.
Granted Tagbo Umeike and pop singer, Davido, were very close friends when he (Tagbo) was alive, and even spent his last moments on earth with the singer, the pop artiste allegedly, could not attend the burial ceremony of the young man on Friday.
In a chat with Saturday Beats, the brother of the deceased, Chigbo said that although his brother’s life was cut short unexpectedly, his burial went according to plans.
He said,
“My brother was buried on Friday and it is so sad that we have lost someone with a big heart. However, Davido was not present at the burial neither did he send a representative but at this point, we have no comment on that.”
Chigbo seized the opportunity to clear the air on his mother’s health. Contrary to reports that his mother has stroke, the young man said that his mother was not afflicted with the ailment while also describing his late brother as someone who turned friends to brothers.
“I would also like to use this medium to correct the notion that my mother has stroke because she doesn’t. We saw the report online but it is not true. The burial ceremony went well. I would miss my brother a lot because he had a big heart.
He was not only my brother but a lot of people’s brother as well. Through my late brother, I have made a lot of friends turned brother and despite his death, I hope to still keep these wonderful people as my brothers. My sister in the UK came down for the burial. For now, we just finished burying my brother and we would want the dust to settle,” Chigbo said.
It also looks like Davido, the self acclaimed Omo Baba Olowo (OBO) has moved one as based on the pop star’s Instagram post where he was seen striking a pose with the crown prince of Edo State. Saturday Beats gathered that the singer had a show in the state.
The last has not been heard of the controversy surrounding the death of Tagbo Umeike , friend to Nigerian pop star David Adeleke, popularly called Davido, as the other suspects who were detained by the police have given an insight into what actually happened the night Tagbo died.
Reports credited to the Lagos State Police Command had revealed that Tagbo had a night of heavy drinking and allegedly consumed about 40 shots of Tequila, a strong alcoholic beverage. He was alleged to be in company of his friends, including Davido, before his body was abandoned at Lagos Island General Hospital in the early hours of October 3.
The news of his death was made known to the public following the outcry of Umeike’s ex-girlfriend, Nollywood actress Caroline Danjuma, who accused Davido of abandoning his friend. That outburst led to the arrest and interrogation of Davido and three other suspects by the police. While the other three suspects are still being detained in police custody, Davido was released unconditionally.
According to a police source, there was no need to detain Davido as all the evidence gathered in the cause of interrogation and investigation exonerated him.
“Tagbo is an adult and was not forced to consume that quantity of alcohol that is dangerous to his health. He had nothing to do with his death, rather investigation revealed that he was even more concerned about the safety of the deceased while he was still alive”, the source stated, pointing to a dead end in efforts to bring charges against the music star over the controversial death of his friend.
Why we dumped Tagbo’s body
Meanwhile some of the suspects who were detained after interrogation at the Police State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti have told the police that they dumped Tagbo’s body and fled the hospital when the doctor on duty confirmed that he was dead for fear of being treated as suspects.
Some of the suspects who are in custody are Davido’s police security detail, Tunde Yussuf , as well as his friends Busari Idris and Agbeja Olaoye all of who completely exonerated Davido.
According to Yussuf, who is a spy policeman , he was posted to work for Davido as part of his security details. He said that on the day of the unfortunate incident, they had gone to a party with the pop star at a club known as Shasha Room where they met Tagbo already drunk.
After spending some time, they moved to Oniru beach where Fuji music star Wasiu Ayinde was to perform at a birthday party that night.
According to him, they expected Tagbo to go home since he was already drunk but was surprised that he followed them to that place too. Moments later, one of Davido’s boys informed them that Tagbo was not okay.
He said Davido then requested that they should take one of his Hilux vehicles and follow those taking Tagbo to the hospital. As soon as they got there, the boys who took Tagbo to the hospital rushed in to call the police. “He was still in the car when the doctor came out and checked him and then said that he is dead. Moments later, the boys came out and told me that it was time to get out of the hospital.”
The second suspect Olaoye who was in the car with Tagbo before he died told the police that he fled when the doctor confirmed him dead to avoid being treated as his killer.
According to him, Tagbo was at the party long before Davido arrived and there was so much free drinks. “He demanded for a drink known as tequila and probably to show that he can consume a lot and still stay sane, took several shots of the drink.
As at the time Davido wanted to leave the party for another one, Tagbo was already drunk and violent. Davido who was concerned about his plight offered to carry him in his car but was advised against it because he was drunk and misbehaving. They advised him to go home but he insisted that he was going to the beach party with them.
He then joined their car which was part of the convoy . It was while they were there that he started screaming and gasping for breath.”
At that point, he said they contacted Davido through the boys who were around him and they were told that Davido asked that he should be taken to the hospital immediately. On their way, he also noticed that one of Davido’s security men followed them to the hospital.
Olaoye insists that Tagbo was still breathing when they arrived at the hospital. They ran into the hospital requesting that there was an emergency, unfortunately by the time the doctor arrived, Tagbo had died.
They were then asked to fill a from to enable the hospital prepare his death certificate. They were able to get his international passport to get his correct name and age.
“The doctor then said that people in-charge of such case were coming and that we should wait and meet them before the corpse can be kept in the mortuary.”
Olaoye knew that they were referring to the police, so they all decided to run away from the hospital. They quickly jumped into the Hillux driven by Davido’s security detail and left the hospital. They also tried calling Davido to let him know the outcome of their trip to the hospital but his phones were switched off. Everyone of them retired to their various houses with the hope that by the next day they would help trace Tagbo’s family members.
Insisting that they are all innocent , Olaoye told the police that they ran away that night because in Nigeria, “even if it is clear that you had nothing to do with the death of someone, as long as you were at the scene, they will lock you up and accuse you of murder.”
Busari Idris who was also in the car on the day of the unfortunate incident also confirmed Olaoye’s statement. He said that they only knew his details from the international passport found in his wallet.
According to him, Tagbo was gasping for breath and screaming that his stomach was burning. He said they had no choice but to rush him to the hospital, adding that he was still breathing when they got to the hospital but lost him before the doctor could come to check him that night which was around 3am the next day.
“When the doctor said that we have to wait for the police, we knew the implication, that was why we fled the scene.”
What Davido told the police
In a short statement at the police station , Davido said he knew Tagbo just like the other boys hanging around him. According to him, he was invited to attend the birthday party of a friend whom he identified as Adelewe. At about 8pm on October 2, he left his house to attend the birthday party at Shasha Room in Lekki.
He was seated at another table with other friends while Tagbo and several others were behind them drinking and making noise. He only observed that Tagbo was consumming so much Tequila while the boys with him on the table were cheering him.
An hour later, he said he stood up and moved down to his car. He was heading to G12 at Oniru beach to attend another event, where Wasiu Ayinde was to perform.
He stated that almost all his boys and fans followed him to the car park including Tagbo who was drunk and unstable.
According to him, he was worried and tried to persuade him to enter his car but because he was misbehaving his security details and personal assistants advised that he should not take him in his car but rather he would enter another car in his convoy.
He left the club and attended the party at Oniru beach. An hour later , he moved to another club on the Island known as DNA for another event before retiring home for the day in the early hours of October 3.
Davido told the police, that he never heard anything from him again till he was informed by his personal assistant that Tagbo had died.
Other suspects face charges
At the time of filling this report, there were indications that the police may file charges against the other three suspects being held in custody. It was also confirmed that the police may have come to a dead end in their initial plan to draw charges against Davido as well because the music star was exonerated by the statements given by all the suspects.

Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe, has created a ministry to punish “rats” who make use of the cyberspace to attack his government.
Appointed as Head of this new Cyber Security, Threat Detection, and Mitigation Ministry is Patrick Chinamasa who is a former Finance minister.
Zimbabweans have joked about the development, claiming Chinamasa’s appointment makes him the “Minister of WhatsApp and Facebook”.
However, Chinamasa’s first job, it seems, is to get rid of, or regulate the use of Whatsapp and Facebook, raising serious concerns over freedom of expression, access to information and a clampdown on social media messaging.
Zimbabwe actually did, in fact, issue new rules on using WhatsApp, in the country. The rules order groups to be registered and for the administrator of the group to have government level clearance.
It can be argued that Mugabe issued these new rules in order to tone down the rate of inflation in the country via rumors but one can’t but wonder if it isn’t to maintain Mugabe’s 37-year reign, so he could clinch another victory in 2018 presidential elections.

41-year-old Mrs. Ngozi Mba has allegedly been beaten to death by her husband, 45-year-old Ernest Anayo Mba at their home in the Aradagun area of Badagry, Lagos.
LIB reports that a family source who spoke to them said Mrs Mba died last Tuesday, October 10th, from complications from injuries she sustained from a recent beating from her husband.
The deceased and her husband met in 2009 and without any courtship, got married in 2010. For as long as they were married, Mrs Mba never enjoyed her marriage as she suffered series of beating from her husband. His quest to have a boy made her go into the labor room five times. She had four girls and a boy.
One of the girls died two years ago from negligence as he reportedly refused to pay her medical bills because she was a girl that he never wanted.
The family source said Mr. Mba treated his deceased wife with so much disdain that he referred to her in Igbo language as Idiot, Dead body etc.
During her last delivery, she suffered so many complications that the doctors advised her not to get pregnant again as it could lead to her death.
Her husband who was in dire need of another boy, got her pregnant again and ordered her not to inform any member of her family. From the time she confirmed she was pregnant till her death date, she never informed any member of her family.
After a severe beating in early October, Mrs. Mba complained of severe chest pain and was taken to the hospital where she died.
Her husband upon her death did not even inform her family members of their death. Mr. Mba reportedly resumed work at his piggery farm the next day after his wife died.
Mba and one of his brothers took the body of the deceased to his hometown in Anambra state without the consent of their family.

The remains of Tagbo Umeike, the late friend of music artiste, Davido, who died from suffocation, has been buried.
The burial was done in his family compound in Anambra State on Friday.
There had been rumours that Mr. Umeike died of alcohol poisoning after his birthday party at Shisha Lounge in Lekki, Lagos on October 2.
Davido, full name David Adeleke, became a person of interest after the rumours began circulating that he had a hand in Mr. Umeike’s death.
The rumours became rife when Tagbo’s girlfriend and actress, Caroline Danjuma, accused Davido of not being truthful about what transpired on the night of Mr. Umeike’s death.
Two other associates of the singer, DJ Olu, 25, and Chime Amaechi, were also found lifeless in the former’s BMW car parked in the underground garage of Block B, Banana Island, Lagos, three days after Tagbo’s death.
But after a tumultuous three weeks, Davido’s lawyer, Bobo Ajudua, said the singer has been cleared of all allegations of murder or involvement in the mysterious death of Mr. Umeike.
A 10-month-old baby weighs as much as a nine-year-old at a massive weight of four stone and 10 pounds.
Luis Manuel weighed a normal healthy weight when he was born at seven pounds and 11 ounces, but since then he has put on a lot of weight.
His parents suspect the child, who has struggled to breathe because of his rapid weight gain, suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome.
This is the same condition affecting Katie Price’s son, Harvey. It is a genetic disorder and means those affected are permanently hungry.
Luis’ mother Isabel Pantoja said: “After only one month we noticed that clothes did not fit him and we had to dress him in clothes for a one-year-old, and even a two-year-old. We saw our baby gain weight so fast. Sometimes, he could not sleep because he felt like he was suffocating due to his weight.”
Luis’ parents have now launched a fundraising campaign to pay for his treatment if his diagnosis is confirmed by doctors in Tecoman, Mexico. Treatment would consist of a series of hormone injections, with each one reportedly costing more than £400.
Doctors say Luis Manuel is currently the normal weight for a nine-year-old boy even though he is just 10 months old. Doctors in Tecoman say Luis Manuel would be the first ever recorded case of the condition in the city.
The boy’s father, Mario Gonzalez, said he was worried about the health implications for his son.
He said: “In some cases, kids have died because of a heart attack due to being so overweight.”
The family have opened a bank account to enable well-wishers to donate towards his care.
