On Sunday, news broke that
Davido and his bodyguard were
involved in a fight at a club in a
highbrow Lagos area. After
different stories were peddled on
the matter, his management has
released a statement on the
issue, with a view to “clear the
air” on the falsified accounts
circulating about the incident.
Below is what happened at the
Grotto Club in Victoria Island,
Lagos...
Official Statement from Davido's
management:
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 bodyguard 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.
