Nollywood actress, Caroline Danjuma, has confessed that she was dating late Tagbo Umeike who she alleged died in the car of popular musician, Davido.
The 37-year-old stated this in an interview with blogger, Stella Dimoko Korkus, adding that she did not accuse Davido of complicity in the death.
Caroline, who once dated 2face Idibia, had in an Instagram post earlier in the week accused Davido of dumping Tagbo’s body at a general hospital after they had spent the night drinking to celebrate the deceased’s birthday.
She, however, denied saying Davido killed him.
“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’”, she said.
Caroline said eyewitnesses confirmed that Tagbo and Davido fought before the deceased was locked in the car where he allegedly died after drinking copious shots of tequila.
“After we heard that Tagbo’s body was in Lagos Island, Davido’s crew refused to give any info and this was about past 7pm. I contacted someone who remembers seeing Davido and Tagbo, 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. He said one of the crew members came back and saw Tagbo gasping for air. This was the info they spread out there from a supposed eyewitness.”
Caroline, who was until last year married to billionaire, Musa Danjuma, added that Tagbo was her lover but not the father of her daughter.
She said they met after her divorce.
Her words: “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 of Elizabeth.”
Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal, said on Thursday that Caroline and Davido have been invited for questioning over Tagbo’s death.
Mr Edgal added that the police are performing an autopsy on the corpse to confirm the cause of death.
