Substances suspected to be narcotics were found in the car of Olugbenga Abiodun, a friend of pop star, Davido, who was found dead on Saturday.
Abiodun, popularly known as DJ Olu, and another friend, Chime Amaechi, were found dead in a BMW parked in a garage in Banana Island, Lagos.
A police source told The Punch operatives from the Ikoyi Police Division received a distress call that two young men were lying lifeless in the car.
“A team raced to the scene. On getting there, the lifeless bodies of two adult males were found in a BMW car, with number plate, KJA 631 AY, at the underground garage of Block B, Banana Island.
“After making some enquiries, the victims were identified as Olugbenga Abiodun, 25. He lived on Block 11 of the estate. The other victim, Chime Amaechi, was also aged 25,” the source said.
DJ Olu is the son of oil baron, Dapo Abiodun.
Another source said the duo vomited blood from the noses and mouths, adding that a preliminary physical examination suggested that they died of drug overdose.
The paper also quoted Lagos State acting Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal, as confirming the recovery of substances suspected to be drugs from the victims.
His words: They were found dead in the garage. Some substances suspected to be drugs were found in the vehicle. But in any case, autopsies would be carried out to know the cause of death. There were no marks of violence on their bodies. Let the autopsies explain the cause of death. The substances will also be analysed. We need expert opinion and it is being done”.
DJ Olu and Chime died four days after another one of Davido’s friend, Tagbo Umeike, died after hanging out with the ‘Fall’ singer and drinking several shots of Tequila.
