The candlelight procession to honour murdered Nigerian singer, Damilola Ibrahim Olaniyan, better known as Damino Damoche, was held on Saturday night in Lagos.
Damoche was murdered by suspected cultists on Thursday evening at the Lagos State University, LASU, main gate in Ojo.
Though I couldn’t get images from his burial reportedly held in Badagry on Saturday morning, I was able to obtain images from the candlelight procession held in his honour.
It was reliably gathered from witnesses that colleagues of late Damoche in the music industry shunned the event as most of them didn’t show up.
One of the participants said, “I hate Nigeria music industry. We expected some of his friends in the industry to come around but no one showed up. I am an entertainer and not an artiste, but we need to show love and last respect for the dead.”
I also gathered that only Zeeworld, a fast-rising up and coming artiste, was present at the event, along with few relatively known artistes. Zeeworld was reportedly angry at the treatment late Damoche got from his colleagues in the entertainment industry.
The candlelight procession took place at late Damoche’s parents’ house located at Ile-Pako area of Agege, Lagos.
