This morning, I shared a story about Davido and his bodyguard getting
involved in a club brawl that left seven people injured yesterday at
the Nu Grotto club.
Well, Davido's camp has finally released a press statement, stating
their own side of the story.
Read the press statement below
The facts: DJ Jaydee of Grotto Stabbed Davido's Bodyguards, Evades police
Falsified accounts of a recent incident at the Grotto club on Sunday
have made the rounds. Davido's Management hereby wishes to clear the
air on them with the statement below.
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 Jide 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 refusd 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. DjJaydee 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.
DjJaydee 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
