Budding hip hop artist Olaniyan Damilola, popularly known as
"Damino Damoche," was shot dead by suspected campus
fraternity gangs at the Lagos State University.
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 attack appears to be a reprisal attack from a rival
gang, as Damoche was known to be a member of the Eiye Confraternity.
Members of that confraternity took to Twitter to promise reprisals on
his assailants.
Damoche 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.
He
was a Banking and Finance student of the school. 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).
Damoche
was born in Lagos Nigeria into a family of 3, a native of Ogun State.
He was well composed as noted by his all-embracing chill character. A
Student Of Lagos State University (LASU).
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.
He has sang with artists like Drama,Dj
Zeez,Konga, Prince Banton, Zee World, Shanko Rasheed, Skaliey, Baddo,
B.O.Y and still planning to work with Durrela, 2Face, D’Banj and other
top Nigerian artists.

So sad! May his soul rest in peace...amen.
