An uncle to late DJ Olu recently made a claim that his nephew may have died of carbonmonoxide poisoning. The uncle, whose name is Okeowo Olasubomi, said that the public should ignore insinuations being reported about the deceased. In his statement he claimed that his nephew may have died of carbon monoxide poisoning, adding that the public should allow him rest in peace.
He further said that the Lagos state police commissioner Edgar Imohimi should have refrained from making statements before the release of an official autopsy report. Imohimi had earlier said that substances suspected to be drugs were found in the deceased’s car. Olasubomi however made it clear that he suspects foul play from “detractors and enemies” of the DJ’s father, Dapo Abiodun, who is a politician and oil magnate.
His statement partially reads, “My brother’s son, DJ Olu, not into drugs…May have died of carbon monoxide exhaust inhalation…In reaction to the rumours making rounds, we appeal to the public to ignore any negative insinuation about our darling son, brother and nephew Oluwagbemiga Abiodun, and we plead that the public allow the dead Rest in Peace. We plead that the public should let the family grieve in peace at this time of their great loss. As Gbemiga’s uncle, I knew him from childbirth. He has always been a good kid who had a great positive outlook to life. He was at home the night of his death, and he couldn’t have been doing drugs in his car in his own home.
