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.

rival gang, as Damoche was alleged to be a
member of the Eiye Confraternity.
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.
