Fact emerging has it that budding hip hop artist, Olaniyan Damilola, popularly known as “Damino Damoche,” was killed due to his association with campus fraternity in his school, Lagos State University, LASU.
The attack was said to be a reprisal
from a rival gang, as Damoche was alleged to be a member of a confraternity on
the campus.
Damoche was shot dead Thursday
afternoon by suspected campus fraternity gangs outside the school premises.
The incident took place at about 4:30 p.m. Nigerian time. Eyewitnesses said Damoche’s assailants apparently trailed him on a motorbike after he finished a class test in Banking and Finance. He was a 400 level student.
The late hip hop star was shot
twice, in the head and on the left hand, with what appeared to be a high
caliber weapon. He lay dead for several hours before policemen took his body
away in a pick-up van.
Damoche was born in Lagos Nigeria
into a family of 3 but a native of Ogun State.
He started his music trade with some
guys called “Middle Guys”. When things did not go well, he went as a solo
artiste and got parties rocking, picking up the microphone at a very tender age,
doing music underground and as well organizing street shows.
His hit songs include “OBO TO CHE”
Featuring Skaliey, And ‘Fall In The Circle’ featuring- DRAMA, & Feel Aray
Featuring Stormy Zino & IQ(House Of Ginjah).
