Clarence Peters has finally spoken for the first time
following the death of video vixen, Love Divine, aka Kodak, who was allegedly
electrocuted in his studio.
The music video director took to Instagram to release a
statement. In it, he narrated how Kodak died and also paid tribute to the late
dancer whose tragic death occurred on Wednesday, April 29.
Since her death took place in Clarence's studio, some social
media users expected him to react soon and they took to his old posts on
Instagram to question him.
After reports
Clarence Peters was
called in for questioning and the death of Kodak is being investigated as a
murder (read here), Clarence's long-time girlfriend responded to defend him
(read here). Also, a crew member who was present when Kodak died defended
Clarence (read here).
Clarence has now spoken up to defend himself and mourn the
dead.
He wrote on Instagram:
On the 29th of April 2020, Love Divine Ike (Picture Kodak)
was in the dance studio, on the premises of Capital Dreams Pictures, with 5
other team members and myself - 7 people in total.
At about 7:30 pm on the same day, while in another office -
a building beside the dance studio, on the same premises, some people who were
said to be with Love Divine at the time, rushed in and called my attention to
the fact that Love Divine had collapsed.
We immediately rushed her to the nearest hospital, which
refused to let us into their premises, let alone admit her. They assumed she
was a Covid-19 patient.
We tried, but we were not able to gain entry into a second
hospital. We eventually got her to a third hospital where she was pronounced
dead 30 minutes after arrival.
I was not physically in the same room as her when the
incident occurred, and when I inquired, I was told by those present at the
scene that Love Divine, while taking a break from the dance session, was
sitting on one of the metal sliding door rails, charging and using her phone
plugged to an extension box.
The witnesses didn’t realize anything was wrong, until they
saw she had laid down, and they noticed smoke coming from her chest area.
She was said to be electrocuted, her phone was found on her
chest, with severe burn marks, and the phone’s imprint on her chest.
The witnesses were taken to the Ojodu Police Headquarters
straight from the hospital where statements were taken and the phone (which had
traces of burnt flesh on it) was deposited.
The following day, the Police conducted an examination of
the body and were taken to the scene of the incident for further examination.
The Police are currently carrying out a full-scale
investigation into the events that occurred, and an autopsy will be carried
out, with the full permission and consent of her family.
Please note that no one has been charged or arrested, by the
Police. The witnesses and I willingly made ourselves available to the Police
and we have all pledged our full co-operation, through every part of this
process. I will be helping out in every possible capacity.
He continued:
Love Divine and the entire WestLifeCrew was a huge part of
Capital Dreams Pictures, and losing her hurts us all deeply.
She was an exemplary person, and a legend in her own rights.
We will miss her very much.
Words will never be enough to describe what her family is
going through in these things trying times. My thoughts and prayers are with
them, and I ask God to grant them all the strength & fortitude at this
time.
This is a truly difficult time for us all, and we’re asking
for a lot of patience and goodwill from the general public, in these difficult
times.
May God help us through this.
