On Sunday, news broke out
that Davido‘s bodyguard
was involved in a club fight. Today
his management has released a statement on the issue, wanting to “clear the
air” on the falsified accounts of the incident which took place at the Grotto
Club, Victoria Island, Lagos. A
number of images were sent to us, but we choose not to include them in the
article as they are quite disturbing.
Read
the Official Statement;
After a successful outing at
a recent concert on Sunday November 3 at Eko Hotels, popular musician Davido
headed to the Grotto Nightclub on Victoria Island. After a brief stay at the
club, Davido and his crew proceeded to his vehicle
outside to head home. Upon entering the vehicle, he
realized that his ATM card was missing. His body guard Tijani
Olamilekan Ogbeide better
known as Teejay got down from the vehicle to search
for the ATM card in the club. Upon alighting, he was
accosted by an already drunk “DJ
Jay Dee” who had in his hand a champagne flute. This DJ Jaydee
informed Teejay that he had the ATM card in his hand and would like to
personally deliver it to Davido.
Teejay politely asked him to
hand over the ATM card as it was clear that Davido was right in his view in his
car. DJ Jaydee refused to hand over the card without payment and instead
proceeded to shout that he knew who Davido was personally and that he (DJ
Jaydee) was a known person in Lagos.
Teejay refused him access to
Davido which led DJ Jaydee to throw the ATM card on the ground in anger. As
Teejay bent to retrieve the card, DJ Jaydee stabbed him in the neck with the
champagne flute he was holding.
An oblivious Teejay threw him
off his back and proceeded to return the ATM card to Davido. As he was entering
the car to leave, one of the occupants noticed the stab wounds and called his
attention to the blood. Teejay promptly alighted from the car and went to
confront DJ Jaydee who was still yelling outside.
DJ Jaydee apparently not done
with his violence stabbed the bodyguard a second time, this time on his hands
and ran off into the club. Teejay searched for him to no avail and left the
club soon after. Tijani Olamilekan Ogbeide has
since reported the matter to the police and they have been to the club to
invite DJ Jaydee for questioning. Grotto has been unable to deliver DJ Jaydee
to the police, instead malicious and falsified accounts of the incident have
found their way on social media portals being championed of course by sources
intent on casting vile aspersions on Davido and his bodyguard Teejay. DJ Jaydee is yet to surface.
Tijani Olamilekan Ogbeide has pressed charges to this effect.
Davido’s management
categorically refutes all the allegations of violence as insinuated by some.
Teejay was carrying out his job by restricting access to Davido from an unknown
and obviously inebriated and violent individual.
He performed his duties as
bodyguard and instead of resorting to violence, followed the dictates of the
law. Members of the public and fans should please note that Davido was not
present at this unfortunate incident that occurred that night as erroneously
reported in a few quarters.
Thank You
