RISING hip hop act, Olaniyan
Damilola, popular known as Damino Damoche, was shot dead on Thursday around 4.00
p.m at the Iba Gate of Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, by people suspected
to be cultists.
Nigerian Tribune gathered that
Damoche was shot in the head twice, after he finished writing a test at the
Faculty of Management Science of the institution. The hip hop artiste, who
broke to limelight mid-2011, was, until his death, a 400-level Banking and
Finance student at LASU. He was said to be working on his next album due for
launch in April when the incident occurred.
Ngozi Braide, the image maker in
charge of the Lagos State police command, cofirmed the killing. She added that
the police had deposited the corpse at the mortuary. The Nigerian Tribune
gathered that the hip hop act was on his way out of the campus , when some
alleged cult guys accosted him and shot him at a close range.
The death created panic in the
school, as students rushed to the scene to catch a glimpse. A student of LASU,
who simply identified himself as Ojo, informed the Nigerian* Tribune that “it
is not unusual in LASU for someone to be killed before examinations. We know
that they will surely kill since we are starting our exams next week.”
Sad one for such a young blood
