The younger brother of late Tagbo Umeike has confirmed that
singer Davido was indeed absent at his brother’s funeral in Anambra state
yesterday.
The young man identified as Chigbo Umeike told Punch NG that
his brother was buried yesterday in the absence of Davido and his representatives.
He also used the opportunity to debunk the notion that their
mother had stroke due to Tagbo’s demise.
His words:
“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.”
“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”.
While his friend was being buried in Anambra, Davido was busy
enjoying royal welcome in Edo state. He shared photo of himself enjoying the
company of crown Prince of Edo state. The singer had a show in the state from
where he is expected to travel to Sierra Leone for another concert.
