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.
Tagbo, who allegedly died of alcohol,
was buried in his home town in Anambra State and Saturday Beats reliably
gathered that the singer was absent.
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.
