I Was Offered N100m To Implicate Davido – Aloma

Aloma has opened up that he was once offered N100m to implicate Davido.

Gatekeepers News reports that Busari Idris Seun (Aloma) who was a former aide to Nigerian artiste, David Adedeji Adeleke popularly known Davido disclosed that some people offered N100 million to lie that singer was responsible for the death of his friend, Tagbo Umeike.

Aloma disclosed this when he featured on ‘Original Intelligence’, a YouTube series by Jahbless.

Umeike died from alleged alcohol poisoning in October 2017 after his birthday party in Lekki, Lagos State, South-West Nigeria. Some people had pointed an accusing finger at the ‘FEM’ crooner who dismissed the allegations.

Aloma recalled that he was arrested by the Police and detained for 18 days after Umeike died.

Gatekeepers News reports that Aloma claimed that during his time in detention, he was approached to write a statement indicting Davido of killing Tagbo for the huge cash reward.

“This is the first time I’ll say this on air. The interesting part of the issue was that while we were at Lion building, Tagbo’s lawyer came in the company of another person — which I wouldn’t want to mention — and the divisional police,” he said.

“They said I was the foreman and took me to a separate room. One really needs to be scared of the entertainment industry, I won’t lie, they’re trying everything possible to bring Davido down. So, they said since I was their foreman, I should write a statement that Davido was the one who killed him (Tagbo).

“I was offered a cheque of N100 million just to implicate Davido in the statement. But I didn’t do that because if I had done that, I would have finished the money by now.”

Gatekeepers News reports that Aloma further revealed that Umeike died due to excessive consumption of alcohol and dismissed reports that he was poisoned.

“That day, it was Tagbo’s birthday so Davido and I alongside were celebrating and drinking with him at Shisha Lounge. Then around past 12 am, Tagbo was excited because of his birthday. We were all taking Tequila then.

“But everyone including Davido started warning him against the rate at which he was drinking. I guess it was due to the birthday excitement. When we realised that he was drunk, Davido asked someone to drop him at home because we were heading for a show at Oniru axis. That was the last time we saw Tagbo.

“By the time we left Oniru, we got a call that Tagbo wasn’t feeling fine and that he needs to be rushed to the hospital. So, I left with one other person to his place and we took him to a general hospital.

“We were told that he wasn’t breathing well…but about nobody attended to us for about 45 minutes. I was holding him in my hand then while we were waiting for the medical personnel to attend to us. Then after a while, he held my hand, told me ‘God bless you….” and passed away. It wasn’t long before the police came. I spent 18 days at Panti.”
