The first friend to die this month was Umueke Tagbo. He allegedly died from overdose of alcohol, on October 5, 2017.
Tagbo’s death was followed by that of Olugbenga Abiodun, aka DJ Olu, and one of Davido’s crew members – Chime Amaechi.
They were found dead on October 8, 2017 in a BMW car in a garage on Block B, Banana Island, Lagos.
Ogunbayo, 29, also known as Johnny John, was stabbed to death at a London flat he shared with his fiancée.
He owned an entertainment company.
Said to be a friend to Italian striker, Mario Balotelli, and Nigerian striker, Obafemi Martins, Ogunbayo was discovered by paramedics inside a west London luxury home on October 20, 2017.
According to The Mirror, he was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after a post-mortem examination revealed that he died from a wound to his heart.
Detectives have launched a murder investigation, but police say they are treating the 29-year-old’s death as “unexplained” at this time.
A statement from the police says a 21-year-old woman, who was at the scene when officers arrived, was arrested on suspicion of murder.
She was later freed pending further investigations.
The statement says: “Officers attended along with the LAS and a 29-year-old man was found suffering from stab injuries.
“He was pronounced dead at the scene at 02:57 hours. Next of kin have been informed and formal identification has taken place.
