The Lagos State Police Command has recovered substances suspected to be drugs from the car of deceased Olugbenga Abiodun, aka DJ Olu, and one Chime Amaechi, who are friends to popstar, Davido, Punch reports.

They were found dead on Saturday in a BMW car in a garage on Block B, Banana Island, Lagos.

A source said operatives from the Ikoyi Police Division received a distress call that two young men were lying lifeless in a car.

“A team raced to the scene. On getting there, the lifeless bodies of two adult males were found in a BMW car, with number plate, KJA 631 AY, at the underground garage of Block B, Banana Island.

“After making some enquiries, the victims were identified as Olugbenga Abiodun, 25. He lived on Block 11 of the estate. The other victim, Chime Amaechi, was also aged 25,” the source said.

Another source said the duo vomited blood from the noses and mouths, adding that a preliminary physical examination suggested that they died of drug overdose.

She said, “They were found dead in the car and blood was coming out of their noses and mouths. A doctor was also at the scene. Physical examination of the bodies indicated that the victims must have died of an overdose of substances suspected to be hard drugs. The substances were found in the car.”

The Lagos State Acting Commissioner of Police, Edgar Imohimi, confirmed the deaths and the recovery of substances suspected to be drugs from the victims.

“They were found dead in the garage. Some substances suspected to be drugs were found in the vehicle. But in any case, autopsies would be carried out to know the cause of death. There were no marks of violence on their bodies. Let the autopsies explain the cause of death. The substances will also be analysed. We need expert opinion and it is being done,” he said.

Their death came days after another friend of Davido, Umeike Tagbo had died after allegedly taking shots of Tequila.
