“We, the family of Tagbo Ifeatuchukwu Umeike,

received the shocking news of the passing of our

brother on October 3 at about 8:55p.m. , several

hours after his demise. Since his passing, there

have been several stories making the rounds,

especially on social media, regarding Tagbo’s

personality and the circumstances concerning his

death. For a family that is trying to come to terms

with the passing of their loved one, some

disparaging and unfounded comments and

statements about his personality and life,

especially from individuals who did not even know

Tagbo, have been received with a lot of sadness.

“Tagbo looked out for everyone and had a big

heart; he was a friend to all and loved by many.

Evidence received so far suggests that there is

more to his death and we, as a family, will ensure

that the truth regarding the circumstances of his

passing will be brought to light. 

At this point, we

will like to thank the Lagos State Police Force, led

by Acting Police Commissioner, Imohimi Edgal, for

their diligence and professionalism in carrying out

their investigation. We are pleased to say that we

now have a clearer picture of the events leading

up to Tagbo’s untimely demise. As it is an

ongoing investigation, we are unable to disclose

any further information, but suffice to say the

truth will come out! We would like to kindly ask

that the print media and blogs covering this story

refrain from printing hearsay and fabrications and

stick to the facts, while respecting that the family

is grieving.”
